o thou joyful o thou wonderful

o thou joyful, o thou wonderful
grace revealing christmastide!
jesus came to win us
from all sin within us;
glorify, glorify the holy child!

o thou joyful, o thou wonderful
love revealing christmastide!
loud hosannas singing,
and all praises bringing,
may thy love, may thy love with us abide.

o thou joyful, o thou wonderful
peace revealing christmastide!
darkness disappeareth,
god’s own light now neareth,
peace and joy, peace and joy to all betide.
