Joy Has Dawned

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Joy has dawned upon the world Promised from creation God's salvation now unfurled Hope for ev'ry nation Not with fanfares from above Not with scenes of glory But a humble gift of love Jesus born of Mary [Verse 2] 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 Vuln'rable and helpless [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 myst'ry Once a babe in Bethlehem Now the Lord of hist'ry
