A wonÂdrous song is in the air,
Making evÂery listÂenÂer glad;
Christmas joy is evÂeryÂwhere,
Let no heart be sad.
Refrain
Joy is evÂeryÂwhere,
Joy that all may share;
Heaven’s mornÂing,
Earth adÂornÂing,
Fills the eastÂern sky.
Songs of joy and love
Fill the realms abÂove;
Praise is ringÂing,
All are singÂing,
Praise to God on high.
A wonÂdrous star is in the sky,
Heralding a dawnÂing day;
Christmas hope brings HeavÂen nigh,
So the anÂgels say.
Refrain
A wonÂdrous host the shepÂherds see,
Host ceÂlesÂtial, come to earth;
Christmas love, a maÂgic key,
Brings a SavÂior’s birth.
