How Great Our Joy Lyrics


While by the sheep we watched at night
Glad tidings brought an angel bright

How great our joy!
Great our joy!
Joy! Joy! Joy!
Joy! Joy! Joy!
Praise we the Lord in Heav'n on high
Praise we the Lord in Heav'n on high

There shall be born, so He did say
In Bethlehem a Child today

How great our joy!
Great our joy!
Joy! Joy! Joy!
Joy! Joy! Joy!
Praise we the Lord in Heav'n on high
Praise we the Lord in Heav'n on high

Joy! Joy! Joy!
Praise we the Lord in Heav'n on high

There shall the Child lie in a stall
This Child who shall redeem us all

How great our joy!
Great our joy!
Joy! Joy! Joy!
Joy! Joy! Joy!
Praise we the Lord in Heav'n on high
Praise we the Lord in Heav'n on high
