We shouldn't celebrate Christmas before
Thanksgiving gets here.
But what about the 'joy' that He brings? Every day is a good day to
celebrate what His being in our lives and bringing to the world?
.'Joy to the World' has been rattling through my mind the last bit so
here we go. Just for the day:
JOY TO THE WORLD
Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let Earth
receive her King;
Let every heart
prepare him room,
And heaven and
nature sing,
And heaven and
nature sing,
And heaven, and
heaven, and nature sing.
Joy to the
world! the Saviour reigns;
Let men their
songs employ;
While fields and
floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the
sounding joy,
Repeat the
sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat
the sounding joy.
No more let sins
and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns
infest the ground;
He comes to make
His blessings flow
Far as the curse
is found,
Far as the curse
is found,
Far as, far as,
the curse is found.
He rules the
world with truth and grace,
And makes the
nations prove
The glories of
His righteousness,
And wonders of
His love,
And wonders of
His love,
And wonders,
wonders, of His love.
