Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
City of David; slumbering town;
What is that anthem? What is that sound
High o'er Judea, borne on the wings of heaven's love tonight?
City of David; Bethlehem fair;
What is that song that rides on the air?
Glorias stream from legions above, with heaven's love alight.
City of David; City of kings;
Rejoice for the tidings the angels bring!
The long night is ended, the darkness is past;
the Light has come at last.
VERSE 2
City of David; slumbering still,
What is that glory bright o'er the hills?
Starlight descending, borne on the wings of heaven's love tonight?
Oh, City of David; awake and arise!
Follow the star that hallows the skies;
Follow and find a beautiful Child with heaven's love alight!
City of David; City of kings;
Rejoice for the tidings the starlight brings!
The long night is ended, the darkness is past;
the Light has come at last,
At last, At last!
