For today, simply meditate on the words of this carol, and and ask yourself whether yours is truly a home that echoes the song of Jesus.
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!
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!
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 the earth.
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!
For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!
In the light of that star
Lie the ages I pearled;
And that song from afar
Has swept over the world.
Lie the ages I pearled;
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!
In the homes of the nations that Jesus is King!
We rejoice in that light,
And we echo the song
That comes down through the night
From the heavenly throng.
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!
And we greet in His cradle our Savior and King!
Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal, 120.
