282. O Thou Joyful, O Thou Wonderful

1 O thou joyful, O thou wonderful
Grace revealing Christmas-tide!
Jesus came to win us
From all sin within us;
Glorify the Holy Child!

2 O thou joyful, O thou wonderful
Love revealing Christmas-tide!
Loud hosannas singing
And all praises bringing;
May Thy love with us abide!

3 O thou joyful, O thou wonderful
Peace revealing Christmas-tide!
Darkness disappeareth,
God’s own light now neareth;
Peace and joy to all betide.
