LOOK TO THE SKIES, THERE’S A CELEBRATION
Lift up your heads, join the angel song
For our Creator becomes our Saviour
As a baby born!
Angels, amazed, bow in adoration
‘Glory to God in the highest heaven!’
Send the good news out to every nation
For our hope has come
Worship the King – come, see His brightness
Worship the King, His wonders tell
Jesus our King is born today
We welcome You, Emmanuel
Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God
Father for ever, the Prince of Peace
There’ll be no end to Your rule of justice
For it shall increase
Light of Your face, come to pierce our darkness
Joy of Your heart come to chase our gloom
Star of the morning, a new day dawning
Make our hearts Your home
Quietly He came as a helpless baby
One day in power He will come again
Swift through the skies He will burst with splendour
On the earth to reign
Jesus, I bow at Your manger lowly
Now in my life let Your will be done
Live in my flesh by Your Spirit holy
Till Your kingdom comes
Graham Kendrick
