Hear on the heights
Words: The Revd Mother Carrie Thompson
Tune: Willow Lane by Don Gillthorpe
1. Hear on the heights the humble sheep are bleating,
Mixing their voice with music from on high.
Now is the time that heav'n and earth are meeting;
The Word of God is heard in baby's cry.
2. See in the sky a single star is shining,
Shedding its light into the darkest night.
Now is the time that heav'n and earth, combining,
Behold the glory of the Light of Light.
3. Feel on the dawn a brand new day is breaking:
Hope fills the air, and sin and sorrow cease.
Now is the time that heav’n and earth are waking,
A new creation in the Prince of Peace.
4. Come, let us join with sheep and seraphs singing,
Come, let us see the Light of heaven on earth.
Now is the time that every realm is ringing
The joyful tidings of the Saviour's birth.
HY2403a
