The Wondrous Advent

Light from a sta­ble shin­ing

Music from an­gel choir;

Hailing the won­drous ad­vent

Every true heart’s de­sire.

Hark! hark! we al­most hear them sing­ing;

Hark! hark! how clear the voic­es ring­ing;

Come! come! your wor­ship bring­ing

Bow be­fore the in­fant King

Adore be­fore the in­fant King

Adore be­fore the in­fant King.

Beautiful in­fant Sav­ior!

Lying so low­ly there!

Smiling up­on Thy mo­ther

Guarded by an­gels fair.

Wonderful King of glo­ry

Coming to save the world

Over Thy hal­lowed man­ger

Love is for aye un­furled.
