1 On that holy night when the angels bright
Sang incarnate love in the sky above,
Lowly shepherds heard that immortal word,
Joy to all the world, wonderful word!

Refrain:
Happy words of cheer, speed them on!
Angel-song now prolong;
Happy words of cheer, speed them on!
Lift exultant praise, hopeful and strong;
Magnify our king, Savior King;
Go and tell, gladly tell,
His redeeming love, beautiful story,
Let all the world joyfully sing.

2 As the shepherds sped to the manger bed,
There to see the Child pure and undefiled,
Haste to Him today while the angels say,
Joy to all the world, wonderful day! [Refrain]

3 When we seek our king, treasure let us bring,
Willing gifts of love to the Lord above;
And again we sing, while the echoes ring,
Joy to all the world, Jesus is king. [Refrain]
