Sweet sounds of heaven (Christ is born)

LYRICS
Sweet sounds of heaven fill the night,
as strains of glory
blend with radiance so bright
and herald angels sing their story of delight
to welcome Jesus to the world.

In him the light of life has dawned.
For those in darkness,
God’s salvation has been born:
and through his suffering
he’ll comfort all who mourn
with hope that rises from despair.

Christ is born!
earth and heaven bow to worship him.
Christ is born!
open up your hearts
to welcome Christ the King,
welcome Christ the King:
we welcome Christ the King.

See God, incarnate on the earth,
the Son eternal,
in human flesh by virgin birth;
the second Adam,
born to lift us from the curse:
restoring righteousness in him.

And now we long for his return,
the day of promise
and redemption for the earth,
as all creation waits
with every heart that yearns
to welcome Jesus to the world.
