The Heavens Bend To Kiss The Earth Lyrics

1. The heavens bend to kiss the earth,
In honour of this day;
The earth in ecstacy acclaims
The reign of Christ for aye,
Around the world, across the sky,
The tidings softly run
The stars flash forth the message bright,
The Saviour now has come.

[Chorus:]
Hail! Prince of Princes
Lord and King!
Thy name we love,
Thy praises sing
Hosana, Hosana,
Lord and King,
Hosana, Hosana,
Lord and King!

2. The palm today rules o'er the sword,
The truth has dawned on earth,
Idolatry has died the death,
Religion has its birth.
Across the arch of night God views
Fair Bethlehem beneath,
Where Angel choirs weave for His Son
This joyous choral wreath.

3. We sing of Him Who'll null death's sway
And heal the withered hand,
Who'll turn the demon's power away
And give kind Peace our land.
We sing of Him who'll walk the sea
And calm the raging wind,
We sing of Him Who is to be
The Saviour of mankind.
