120. There’s a Song in the Air

Ab                    Eb7
There’s a song in the air!

          Ab          Eb7
There’s a star in the sky!

          Ab       Abm  Eb
There’s a mother’s deep prayer

      Bb7        Eb
And a baby’s low cry!

Eb7     Ab
And the star rains its fire

          Eb7
while the beautiful sing,

        Ab7       Bbm    Dbm
For the manger of Bethle-hem

Eb7       Ab
cradles a King!


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
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!

[Verse 2]
There’s a tumult of joy
O’er the wonderful birth,
For the virgin’s sweet boy
Is the Lord of the earth.
Aye! the star rains its fire
while the beautiful sing,
For the manger of Bethlehem
cradles a King!

[Verse 3]
In the light of that star
Lie the ages impearled;
And that song from afar
Has swept over the world.
Every hearth is aflame
and the beautiful sing
In the homes of the nations
that Jesus is King!

[Verse 4]
We rejoice in the light,
And we echo the song
That comes down through the night
From the heavenly throng.
Aye! we shout to the lovely evangel they bring,
And we greet in His cradle
our Savior and King!
