The Cities Are Lit and Festive
The Cities Are Lit And Festive
Inspired by the Norwegian Christmas carol "Det lyser i stille grender"
Admin: Concordia / Cantando Musikkforlag.
Song arrangement and new melody on chorus: Solveig Leithaug
The cities are lit and festive
All over the world tonight
As children with eyes of wonder
Raise candles towards the sky
With singing they bid him welcome
Sweet Jesus, their brother dear
Our king in a humble stable
Emmanuel, God is here
On pillow of hay He rested
His head on that night divine
While choirs of angels worshipped,
The Saviour of all mankind
Sing Hallelujah
Lift candles high
Sing hallelujah
By night over David's city
They sang out in jubilee
Rejoicing, for hope eternal
Is found in the Prince of Peace
Forever this song's resounding
As long as there shall be breath
The Light of the World has triumphed
Victorious over death
So sing hallelujah, lift candles high
Sing hallelujah
The cities are lit and festive
All over the world tonight
