"A Voice is Heard Throughout the Land"

A voice is heard throughout the land,
'Heaven to earth was brought!'
Come see, ye, people! Take my hand,
behold your Christ, whom the Father begot.

Tis this the Joy for all the people?
Glory to God! He`s here! He`s here!
Rise up cold heart; go to the steeple!
Hear the choir proclaim with cheer!

My God and my Savior, come as a child!
A righteousness hid now made manifest,
this day God to man has smiled.
From His bosom came Heaven`s Rest.

The Bright Morning Star in faithfulness came,
promised to us from long days ago.
His hand of love toward us to claim,
an eternal beacon of mercies overflow!

This Gift profound, a timeless exchange,
heaven and earth have met in this place.
Hearts to ponder this Love so strange,
the manger sings songs of celestial grace.

In this hallowed moment, hearts unite,
a loud symphony of grace and mirth.
Bathed in the glow of Heaven`s Light,
a serenade of Love`s miraculous birth.

Joy is born, a heavenly decree,
righteousness and peace come together.
Worship, rejoice, and let every knee,
bow in praises to Christ the King, forever.
