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.
