Chorus
Joy oh joy! To the baby boy!
Who has come,
Who has come to save us
Joy oh joy! To the baby boy!
Son of God,
Son of God, His name is Jesus
Verse 1
There is sadness, there is sorrow
Deep within my heart
At this point in time,
Where we have to stand apart
Pre-Chorus 1
But one day long ago,
Oh blessed holy night
The Messiah was born
The world’s eternal light
Verse 2
Once upon a silent night
Began the Christmas story
Wiseman followed a star and worshiped
Giving God the glory
Pre-Chorus 2
As shepherds tended sheep
Heavenly angels declared,
“Praise be to God!
We’ve wonderful news to share!”
Bridge
Repeat the sounding joy!
Repeat the sounding joy!
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy!
Coda
Joy oh joy! Joy oh joy!
Joy oh joy! Joy oh joy!
Son of God, His name is Jesus!
