The Very Hills Did Sing

(c) 2009 by Lisa Chaddock and Kenny Carter
Verse 1
O sacred night by star's bright light 
So very long ago 
The hillsides rang as voices sang
A story that we all know; 

For years they watched and waited 
A people tossed and worn 
Their hopes and prayers were answered 
The day that Christ was born. 

Chorus
The very hills did sing
The angels joyful anthem 
Glory to God on high the voices echoing 
The peoples' joyful answer 
Christ the King is born to night, 
Christ the King is born to night 

Verse 2
O sacred time by the holy Sign 
So very long ago
The magis lift their royal gifts
To honor their great Lord;

For years they watched and waited 
A people tossed and worn 
Their hopes and prayers were answered 
The day that Christ was born. 

Bridge
The angels' song ran through the land, 
And all the earth re turned the song; 
"Hallelujah, Glory to God."
