Joy

Joy

What joy
that day
when angels sang
sweet anthems.

Songs of jubilation
and glad exultation
with much rejoicing
come down from heaven.

That day when angels came to earth
to announce the Savior’s birth
delightful music filled the air –
heavenly music they did share.

Singing for all they were worth
with jubilation and mirth
filled the shepherd's ears
sung loud and clear.

A song never before heard
was sung to the shepherd’s herd
but still rings true today
lighting our weary way.

A melody singing "glory"
bringing God praise and glory
as today we sing in a hymn of bliss –
it’s “Glory to God in the Highest.”

This song of joy and rejoicing
gives glory to God in heaven.
Glory to God in the highest
and on earth peace and new found rest.

As the angels promised
we can find peace and rest
with joy and gladness
when we simply trust.

The angel’s joy is found
in Christ and can abound
in you when you believe
and in prayer just receive.

You’ll be glad
you did
believe
and receive.

Do it now.
This is how:
Dear Jesus, I believe you came to earth to die for my sins.
Please forgive me and help me to live a new life within. Amen.

Give God glory
in melody
or thankful delight
each day and night.

Joy is yours!
God has in store
so much more
than you can wish for.

And if you're weighed down with worry,
stop, and start giving God glory.
Joy will abound
when worry is gone.

You'll find constant worry
is Satan's territory
and robs us of joy.
God's plan is to bring joy.

So with a joyful heart
give God glory, just start.
You'll see life differently
when joy replaces worry.

The joy of the Lord is my salvation (deliverance).
Nehemiah 8:10

Glory to God in the highest
and on earth peace to men.
Luke 2:14
