How Glorious The Love Of Heaven

Song Meaning

A Christmas worship song that lingers at the manger and finds something vast inside it. The opening lines place heaven's love "beneath the sky," laid in a bare manger while a lullaby becomes an act of worship — a striking image of the infinite made small enough to be sung to sleep. The chorus keeps returning to the word "wonder," pairing the announcement that a son is given with the assurance that God is with us, so the refrain works as both proclamation and comfort. The second verse widens the frame, calling the child "infant yet divine" and insisting that redemption was set in motion before time began, which keeps the nativity from being a standalone event and ties it to a larger story. The third verse turns toward human need: this God knows what we lack most deeply and comes to bring us back. The song stays close to its central phrase throughout, repeating it until it functions almost like a breath prayer. Its theology is simple and its structure repetitive by design, suited to congregational singing at Advent and Christmas, where the same few truths bear repeating.

How glorious the love of heaven
Now beneath the sky
Laying in the manger bare
And worship with a lullaby

Hallelujah, what a wonder
Unto us a son is given
Hallelujah, He is with us
Oh how glorious the love of heaven

How glorious the love of heaven
Infant yet divine
Our redemption set in motion
Long before the dawn of time

Hallelujah, what a wonder
Unto us a son is given
Hallelujah, He is with us
Oh how glorious the love of heaven

How glorious the love of heaven
Born to bare our sin
Our God knows our deepest need
And comes to bring us back to him

Hallelujah, what a wonder
Unto us a son is given
Hallelujah, He is with us
Oh how glorious the love of heaven

Hallelujah, what a wonder
Unto us a son is given
Hallelujah, He is with us
Oh how glorious the love of heaven

Oh, oh
How glorious
