A weary world
Rejoices with Heaven
A weary world
Rejoices with Heaven
A light has come
To heal all creation
A light has come
To bring us salvation
A broken world
Welcomes a Savior
A broken world
Welcomes a Savior
A hope has come
King of the ages
A hope has come
Come down to save us
Hallelujah, a child has come
A child has come
Bringing new life to us
Hallelujah, a child has come
The Son of God with us
A silent night
Awakens the angels
A silent night
Awakens the angels
A promise kept
From the Garden of Eden
A promise kept
A hope to believe in
And hallelujah, a child has come
A child has come
Bringing new life to us
Hallelujah, a child has come
The Son of God with us
Hallelujah, a child has come
A child has come
Bringing new life to us
Hallelujah, a child has come
The Son of God with us
Not on the throne
Not with a crown
The King of all Kings
Was love sent down
Together we stand
In wonder and awe
The mercy of God
Was a gift for us all
Hallelujah, a child has come
A child has come
Bringing new life to us
Hallelujah, a child has come
The Son of God with us
Hallelujah, a child has come
A child has come
Bringing new life to us
Hallelujah, a child has come
The Son of God with us
Hallelujah, a child has come
A child has come
Hallelujah, a child has come
