A Stable Lamp Is Lighted

G7 C      Dm7     Gsus4  G
A  stable lamp is lighted
      Am         F        G
Whose glow shall wake the sky;
    Dm          C/E        Bb/F   F
The stars shall bend their voic - es,
    Dm    Dm7         G
And every stone shall cry.
    Dm    Dm7         Gsus4  G
And every stone shall cry,
    Dm7        E7         Am   C7/G
And straw like gold shall shine;
  Dm         Dm/F    C/G
A barn shall harbour heaven,
  Dm9     Gsus4 G7  C G/C F/C Dm7/C C G/C F/C
A stall be-come  a  shrine.


[Verse 2]
G7   C             Dm7     Gsus4  G
This child through David's city
      Am      F       G
Shall ride in triumph by;
    Dm         C/E       Bb/F   F
The palm shall strew its branch-es,
    Dm    Dm7         G
And every stone shall cry.
    Dm    Dm7         Gsus4  G
And every stone shall cry,
       Dm7    E        Am   C7/G
Though heavy, dull and dumb,
    Dm      Dm/F   C/G
And lie within the roadway
   Dm9     Gsus4 G7  C G/C F/C Dm7/C C G/C F/C
To pave his king-dom come.


[Verse 3]
G7  C       Dm7    Gsus4  G
Yet he shall be for-sak-en,
    Am      F     G
And yielded up to die;
    Dm        C/E       Bb/F   F
The sky shall groan and darken,
    Dm    Dm7         G
And every stone shall cry.
    Dm    Dm7         Gsus4  G
And every stone shall cry
    Dm7         E7      Am   C7/G
For hearts made hard by sin:
      Dm      Dm/F    C/G
God's blood up-on the spearhead,
      Dm9    Gsus4 G7  C G/C F/C Dm7/C C G/C F/C
God's love refused a - gain.


[Verse 4]
G7  C       Dm7    Gsus4  G
But now, as at the ending,
    Am     F      G
The low is lifted high;
    Dm          C/E        Bb/F   F
The stars shall bend their voices,
    Dm    Dm7         G
And every stone shall cry.
    Dm    Dm7         Gsus4  G
And every stone shall cry
    Dm7    E7     Am   C7/G
In praises of the child
   Dm       Dm/F   C/G
By whose de-scent among us
    Dm9    Gsus4  G7  C G/C F/C Dm7/C C G/C F/C
The worlds are re-co-nciled.
