[Verse 1]

G7 C Dm7 Gsus4 G

A stable lamp is lighted

Am F G

Whose glow shall wake the sky;

Dm C/E Bb/F F

The stars shall bend their voic - es,

Dm Dm7 G

And every stone shall cry.

Dm Dm7 Gsus4 G

And every stone shall cry,

Dm7 E7 Am C7/G

And straw like gold shall shine;

Dm Dm/F C/G

A barn shall harbour heaven,

Dm9 Gsus4 G7 C G/C F/C Dm7/C C G/C F/C

A stall be-come a shrine.

[Verse 2]

G7 C Dm7 Gsus4 G

This child through David's city

Am F G

Shall ride in triumph by;

Dm C/E Bb/F F

The palm shall strew its branch-es,

Dm Dm7 G

And every stone shall cry.

Dm Dm7 Gsus4 G

And every stone shall cry,

Dm7 E Am C7/G

Though heavy, dull and dumb,

Dm Dm/F C/G

And lie within the roadway

Dm9 Gsus4 G7 C G/C F/C Dm7/C C G/C F/C

To pave his king-dom come.

[Verse 3]

G7 C Dm7 Gsus4 G

Yet he shall be for-sak-en,

Am F G

And yielded up to die;

Dm C/E Bb/F F

The sky shall groan and darken,

Dm Dm7 G

And every stone shall cry.

Dm Dm7 Gsus4 G

And every stone shall cry

Dm7 E7 Am C7/G

For hearts made hard by sin:

Dm Dm/F C/G

God's blood up-on the spearhead,

Dm9 Gsus4 G7 C G/C F/C Dm7/C C G/C F/C

God's love refused a - gain.

[Verse 4]

G7 C Dm7 Gsus4 G

But now, as at the ending,

Am F G

The low is lifted high;

Dm C/E Bb/F F

The stars shall bend their voices,

Dm Dm7 G

And every stone shall cry.

Dm Dm7 Gsus4 G

And every stone shall cry

Dm7 E7 Am C7/G

In praises of the child

Dm Dm/F C/G

By whose de-scent among us

Dm9 Gsus4 G7 C G/C F/C Dm7/C C G/C F/C

The worlds are re-co-nciled.
