[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 d**h will make a way And by His blood He'll win us [Verse 4] Son of Adam Son of heaven Given as a ransom Reconciling God and man Christ our mighty Champion! What a Saviour what a Friend What a glorious mystery Once a babe in Bethlehem Now the Lord of history
