What Must the Sound Have Been

The moment of His birth
the angels singing
all of creation resounding
praises in the highest heaven

What must the sound have been
when our Savior was born
the mix of sadness at his descending
but the chance for us to be reborn

Heralding a Savior

The choir of angels
singing with joy for all
heralding a savior
come to one and all

Across the night sky
their harmonies rang out
announcing the birth of Christ,
God, Emmanuel

Just as was foretold
every note, every jot
the fulfillment of all that was
the promise of God
come to earth, a son

With the angels, we now join
their heavenly song our own
the wondrous grace of God
in the coming of the son
just as was promised of old
