{{Text|English| 1. Joyful the news that the angles were telling: Joyful the music the holy anthems swelling: Joyful the eye that beheld the heav'nly glory: Joyful the ear that heard the sacred story Of a savior born. Chorus: Joyful the News! Joyful the News! Joyful the News! Oh let ev'ry bell be ringing! Joyful the News! Let ev'ry heart be singing Of the Saviour born. 2 Joyful the News! Oh, away with thy sadness: Joyful the news! Let each heart be fill'd with gladness: Jesus has come. He is lying in a manger: Jesus has come. Behold the heav'nly Stranger: Tis the Savior born. Refrain. 3. Joyful the child who the glad news is singing: Joyful the music the mery bells are ringing: Joyful the soul that the Savior hath forgiven: Joyful the heart that has a hope in heaven. Through the Savior born. Refrain.
