VERSE 1:
Joy to the world! The Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King.
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And heav'n and nature sing,
And heav'n and nature sing,
And heav'n and heav'n and nature (sing).
VERSE 2:
Joy! joy! joy! there is joy in The Salvation Army,
Joy! joy! joy! in the Army of the Lord.
Sing to God, sing to God, with loud joyful songs of praise;
Beat the drums, beat the drums, while salvation music plays.
Play the music, play, sing the happy song,
Loud hosannas shout with the happy throng,
To the happy land we'll march along,
And be joyful all the way.
VERSE 3:
Joy to the world! The Savior reigns;
Let men their songs employ.
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding (joy)
VERSE 4:
Joy! joy! joy! there is joy in The Salvation Army,
Joy! joy! joy! in the Army of the Lord.
We will sing, we will sing, till the world is full of joy;
We will shout (HALLELUJAH!), we will shout (PRAISE THE LORD!), till glad voices rend the sky.
With a thousand bands and a thousand drums
We will praise the Lord in bright, happy homes,
We will sing and shout till the Master comes,
We will ever praise the Lord.
VERSE 5:
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders of His love.
OUTRO:
Joy to the world! Joy to the world! Joy to the world! The Lord is come!

Mid-Winter
02:10
|
|||
VERSE 1:
In the bleak midwinter frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.
VERSE 2:
Our God, heav’n can’t hold Him nor the earth sustain;
Heav’n and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign:
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.
VERSE 3:
What can I give Him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd I would bring a Lamb;
If I were a Wise Man I would do my part;
Yet can I give Him? Give my heart.

VERSE 1:
It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from heav'n's all-gracious King."
The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing.
CHORUS:
Glory to God, Peace to all men,
Glory to God in the Highest
In the Highest!
VERSE 2:
Still through the cloven skies they come, with peaceful wings unfurled,
And still their heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains, they bend on hovering wing;
And ever o'er its Babel sound the blessed angels sing.
VERSE 3:
For lo, the days are hastening on, by prophet seen of old,
When, with the ever-circling years, shall come the time foretold,
When the new heaven and earth shall own the Prince of Peace their King,
And the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing.
FINAL CHORUS:
Glory to God, Peace to all men,
Glory to God in the Highest
In the Highest!
Glory to God, Peace to all men,
Glory to God in the Highest
In the Highest! In the Highest! In the Highest!

O Holy Night
03:58
|
|||
VERSE 1:
O holy night! The stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks, a new and glorious morn.
CHORUS 1:
Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices!
O night, divine! O night when Christ was born!
VERSE 2:
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love, and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother,
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.
CHORUS 2:
Christ is the Lord! Oh, praise His name forever!
His pow’r and glory ever more proclaim!
Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices!
O night, divine! O night when Christ was born!
O night, divine! O night O night, divine!

VERSE 1:
O come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold him
Born the King of angels:
CHORUS:
O Come, let us adore Him;
O Come, let us adore Him;
O Come, let us adore Him;
Christ the Lord!
VERSE 2:
Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of Heaven above;
Glory to God
In the highest:
VERSE 3:
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning;
Jesus, to Thee be glory given;
Word of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing:
