Glad hearts are sing­ing,
For Christ­mas is bring­ing us joy, joy, joy!
Jesus from Hea­ven
To mor­tals is giv­en, oh, joy, joy, joy!
Give un­to Him ado­ra­tion,
Mortals, your best songs em­ploy;
Perfect sal­va­tion
He of­fers each na­tion, oh, joy, joy, joy!

Refrain

Joy, joy, joy! Joy, joy, joy!
Angels are sing­ing
And Christ­mas is bring­ing us joy, joy, joy!
Joy, joy, joy! Joy, joy, joy!
Merry bells ring­ing,
And Christ­mas is bring­ing us joy, joy, joy!

Hail to the Stran­ger
Of Beth­le­hem’s man­ger, oh, joy, joy, joy!
Great is God’s fa­vor
To send us a Sav­ior, oh, joy, joy, joy!
With us He still is re­main­ing,
Nothing His love can de­stroy;
King He is reign­ing,
And we are ob­tain­ing great joy, joy, joy!

Refrain

Angels are sing­ing,
And Christ­mas is bring­ing us joy, joy, joy!
In the glad mea­sure
We join with great plea­sure, oh, joy, joy, joy!
Sing of the joys of sal­va­tion,
Cheer those whom trou­bles an­noy;
Send to each na­tion
The great pro­cla­ma­tion of joy, joy, joy!
