Sheet music
- 1There’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!Jesus is King! Jesus is King!For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!
- 2There’s a tumult of joy o’er the wonderful birth;For the virgin’s sweet boy is the Lord of the earth;And the star rains its fire, while the beautiful sing,–For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!Jesus is King! Jesus is King!For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!
- 3In the light of that star lie the ages impearled;And the song from afar has swept over the world;Ev’ry heart is aflame, and the beautiful sing,–In the homes of the nations that Jesus is King!Jesus is King! Jesus is King!For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!
- 4We rejoice in the light, and we echo the songThat comes down thru 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!Jesus is King! Jesus is King!For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!
