The stars and planets up above 

  were placed by God with care 

 to guide us as we wander here 

  and earthly trials bear. 

But one the Christmas star shines out 

  with light from Heaven's morn, 

 to show the path to Bethlehem, 

  where Jesus Christ is born. 

    Noel! Noel! Let all our voices ring! 

    As stars and planets celebrate 

     the coming of our King!

He comes to earth as perfect man, 

  God with us here below, 

 to lift our fallen nature up 

  and our salvation show, 

And in His Light our blinded eyes 

  at last begin to see 

 how Heaven's beauty calls to us 

  from ev'ry leaf and tree.

    Noel! Noel! Let all our voices ring! 

    As stars and planets celebrate 

     the coming of our King!

As starry messengers their tales 

 of time to come foretell, 

  and as the planets circle 'round 

  the Earth on which we dwell, 

He enters Time to lift it back 

   into Eternity, 

 and gathers Space to bring all things 

  to sacred unity.

    Noel! Noel! Let all our voices ring! 

    As stars and planets celebrate 

     the coming of our King!

He is the Lord of life and death, 

  of all things great and small, 

 Whose pow'r and grace can still the seas 

  and overcome the Fall, 

He calls us all to rise with Him 

  to Life beyond the grave, 

 where stars and planets sing in praise 

  to those who He forgave.

    Noel! Noel! Let all our voices ring! 

    As stars and planets celebrate 

     the coming of our King!
