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
