lyrics

Joy Has Dawned

Joy has dawned upon the world, Promised from creation   
God's 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 mother's breast, Vulnerable 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 He'll win us     

Son of Adam Son of heaven, Given as a ransom   
Reconciling God and man, Christ our mighty Champion!
 What a Savior what a Friend, What a glorious mystery   
Once a babe in Bethlehem, Now the Lord of history

 Christ, a humble gift of love, Jesus born of Mary
