Christmas Joy lyrics:

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
Luke 2:13-14
When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
Luke 2:15
Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And love came down from heaven
That blessed Christmas morn.
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills, and every where;
O go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus, Jesus Christ is born.
There’s a star in the east on Christmas morn.
Rise up, shepherd, and follow.
It will lead to the place where the Savior’s born.
Rise up, shepherd, and follow,
follow, follow, follow.
Take good heed to the angel’s word,
Rise up, shepherd, and follow
You’ll forget your flock
And you’ll forget your herd.
So rise up, shepherd.
Rise up, shepherd.
Come to Bethlehem, and see
Him Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
Gloria, gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Love came down, hear the angels sing
Hymns of joy to the newborn King.
Celebrate on this Christmas morn.
Love came down when Christ was born.
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills, and every where;
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
2x Joy to the world.
4x Joy to the world,
Love is born!
