A stable lamp is lighted

Whose glow shall wake the sky

The stars shall bend their voices

And every stone shall cry

And every stone shall cry

And straw like gold shall shine

A barn shall harbor heaven

A stall become a shrine

This child through David's city

Shall ride in triumph by

The palm shall strew its branches

And every stone shall cry

And every stone shall cry

Though heavy dull and dumb

And lie within the roadway

To pave His kingdom come

But now as at the ending

The low is lifted high

The stars shall bend their voices

And every stone shall cry

And every stone shall cry

In praises of the Child

By whose descent among us

The worlds are reconciled
