JOY, JOY, CHRISTMAS JOY (1996)
Snow, snow, Christmas snow,
falling ev'rywhere!
Field and rooftop, fence and road,
find blessing in the air;
Angel wings and snowflakes bring
their message through the sky.
Joy, joy, Christmas joy!
God is drawing nigh!
Lights, lights, Christmas lights,
shining ev'rywhere!
Candles glow and darkness flees,
no more can we despair;
Fir trees sparkle with their news
of Jesus' holy birth.
Joy, joy, Christmas joy!
Christ is come to Earth!
Bells, bells, Christmas bells,
ringing ev'rywhere.
Sun and moon and stars join in,
their music to declare.
From highest heaven Beauty comes,
Creation's holy Lord.
Joy, joy, Christmas joy!
Nature is restored!
Hearts, hearts, Christmas hearts,
open ev'rywhere.
Bethlehem within each soul,
a tiny manger there
Opens to its Savior now,
and welcomes Him to stay.
Joy, joy, Christmas joy,
born in us today!
