Bethlehem

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; And the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a king!

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

In the light of that star Lie the ages impearled; And that song from afar Has swept over the world; Many hearths are aflame, and the beautiful sing, In the homes of the nations, that Jesus is king!
