Every Star Shall Sing A Carol
Verse 1
Every star shall sing a carol;
Every creature, high or low,
Come and praise the King of heaven
By whatever name you know.
Every creature, high or low,
Come and praise the King of heaven
By whatever name you know.
Refrain
God above, Man below,
Holy is the name I know.
Holy is the name I know.
Verse 2
When the King of all creation
Had a cradle on the earth,
Holy was the human body,
Holy was the human birth.
Had a cradle on the earth,
Holy was the human body,
Holy was the human birth.
Verse 3
Every star and every planet,
Every creature, high or low,
Come and praise the King of heaven
By whatever name you know.
Every creature, high or low,
Come and praise the King of heaven
By whatever name you know.
