Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy

In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy

finally on the way

With the sky above the shining

in a wondrous glow
G#                D#   Fm
Now the world is waiting,

people want to hear
Fm                    A#
What in Bethlehem had happened,
C#                        D#
that all will say you're near
