There's a song in the air!
There's a star in the sky!
There's a mother's deep prayer
And a baby's low cry!
For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!

There's a tumult of joy
O'er the wonderful birth,
for the Virgin's sweet child
Is the Lord of the earth.
Ay, the star rains its fire and the choirs sing
For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!

In the light of that star
Lie the angels impearled;
And that song from afar
has swept over the world.
Every hearth is aflame, and the choirs sing
In the homes of the nations that Jesus is King.

We rejoice in the light.
And we echo the song
That comes down through the night
from the heavenly throng.
Ay! we list to the lovely message they bring
And we greet in his cradle our Saviour and King,
