Joyous Christmas Does Prevail

(To be sung to the tune of “Angels We Have Heard On High”) Joyous Christmas does prevail Saviour's grace never to fail His love gift brings peace to heart Pardon never to depart… Joy---ous Christmas, Saviour’s grace never fails Joy---ous Christmas, Saviour’s grace never fails. Triumph of sweet kindness cheers Lifting faith along hope gears Emmanuel's presence with delight Shining radiance of God’s light… Joy---ous Christmas, Emmanuel’s presence Joy---ous Christmas, Emmanuel’s presence. Christmas spirit reigns always Saviour's birth* of glorious praise Life eternal, promise blest Set toward heavenly zest… Joy---ous Christmas, Saviour's birth so glorious Joy---ous Christmas, Saviour's birth so glorious. Days of blissful fellowship Midst wondrous grateful worship Let’s keep sharing Christmas glow Kindness to others we show… Joy---ous Christmas, love and kindness we share Joy---ous Christmas, love and kindness we share. *Luke 1:14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his (Jesus Christ’s) birth.
