Christmas // Week 5 // Dec. 25 - Jan. 1

There's a song in the air! There's a star in the sky!
There's a mother's deep prayer and her 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 all the earth.
Ay! the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing,
for the manger of Bethlehem cradles the King!

(we sing) Gloria! Gloria in excelsis Deo!

In the light of that star lie the ages impearled;
and that song from afar has swept o’er all the world.
Every heart is aflame, and the beautiful sing
and we greet him in his cradle our Savior and King!

(we sing) Gloria! Gloria Gloria in excelsis Deo! (In excelsis Deo!)
