Joy, Joy lyrics

Like a drama unfolding, the curtain was openingAn audience of angels was holding its breathA census, a manger, two travel worn strangersThe stage was finally set.Angels folded their wings at the throne, worshippingAs God whispered, �€œI love you, my Son.�€Jesus took off His crown and laying it downSaid, �€œFather, Thy will be done.�€The time had now come for God's only SonTo be born as a light in a dark, lonely place.So He stepped from Heaven's hall to Bethlehem's stallWhere a star lit His newborn face.Then God called to Gabriel with gladness and tears,�€œPlay the trumpet, the horns, and the strings.Tell the shepherds, and the wise men and all who will hear.Command all the angels to singFill the sky with your voices and sing!�€ChorusJoy, joy to the worldPraise to the KingOh, let it ring.Joy, joy to the worldWorship and singJesus has come to bring�€�Repeat Chorus
