Testo di Joy Has Dawned

Joy has dawned upon the world Promised from creation God's salvation now unfurled Hope for every nation Not with fanfares from above Not with scenes of glory But a humble gift of love Jesus born of Mary Sounds of wonder fill the sky With the songs of angels As the mighty Prince of Life Shelters in a stable Hands that set the star in place Shaped the earth in darkness Cling now to a mother's breast Vulnerable and helpless 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 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 mystery Once a babe in Bethlehem Now the Lord of history
