Listen to the story where every longing
Heart finds its perfect peace
People who were waiting lost and rebelling
God chose to come redeem
See now a spark igniting
A hope returning the angels sing
Good news, great joy
Has come to us
He is light and life
Born to pierce the night
Bringing blessings evermore
Lift your voice and sing for joy!
Born into our weakness He came to heal us
Far as the curse is found
Lord of every nation King of creation
Hope for the weary world
Our Savior who dwells among us
His name is Jesus, Emmanuel!
Good news, great joy
Has come to us
He is light and life
Born to pierce the night
Bringing blessings evermore
Lift your voice and sing for joy!
Glory to God in the highest
Peace on earth, good will to man
Glory to God in the highest
Christ the Lord forever reigns
Glory to God in the highest
Peace on earth, good will to man
We sing glory to God in the highest
Christ the Lord forever reigns
Good news, great joy
Has come to us
He is light and life
Born to pierce the night
Bringing blessings evermore
Bringing blessings evermore
Lift your voice and sing for joy!
Sing for joy!
Sing for joy!
