Joy has dawned upon the world Promised from creation Gods salvation now unfurled Hope for every nation Not with fanfares from above Not with scenes of glory But a humble gift of love Jesus born of Mary Sounds of wonder fill the sky With the songs of angels As the mighty Prince of Life Shelters in a stable Hands that set each star in place Shaped the earth in darkness Cling now to a mothers breast Vulnrable and helpless Shepherds bow before the Lamb Gazing at the glory Gifts of men from distant lands Prophesy the story Gold, a King is born today Incense, God is with us Myrrh, His death will make a way And by His blood Hell win us Son of Adam, Son of Heaven Given as a ransom Reconciling God and man Christ, the mighty champion What a Savior, what a friend What a glorious mystery Once a babe in Bethlehem Now the Lord of history
