Lyrics
Hear the angels sing
There’s hope for everyone
To announce our king
There’s hope for everyone
What good news they bring
There’s hope for everyone
Angels sing there’s hope for everyone
They came from afar
There’s hope for everyone
Wise men saw the star
There’s hope for everyone
Shepherds heard the choir
There’s hope for everyone
From afar there’s hope for everyone
We are waiting on the promise
For the one who lights the darkness
Bending low to be among us
Bring Your glory in the highest
Jesus
Come let us adore
There’s hope for everyone
On the manger floor
There’s hope for everyone
What are you waiting for
There’s hope for everyone
Come adore there’s hope for everyone
Coming on the clouds
There’s hope for everyone
Hear the trumpets sound
There’s hope for everyone
All of Heaven shouts
There’s hope for everyone
On the clouds, there’s hope for everyone

Meaning & Inspiration
“Hope for Everyone” places the birth of Jesus within the broad biblical story of promise and fulfillment. Angels announce good news, wise men follow the star, and shepherds hear the heavenly choir. Each scene returns to the same declaration of hope, presenting Christ’s arrival as good news with a reach that extends beyond any one group. The invitation to adore him keeps the song centered on worship at the manger.
The middle passage describes waiting for the promised one who enters darkness and humbly comes among humanity. That language closely reflects the Gospel accounts of Christ’s birth and John’s image of divine light shining in darkness. The final scene turns from the manger toward Christ’s return, with clouds, trumpets, and heaven’s acclaim echoing New Testament descriptions of his coming. By holding Advent and future hope together, the lyric celebrates Jesus as the promised King whose arrival and return give its refrain meaning.
