Joy to the world

The Lord has come

Let earth

Receive her king 


Now it was long ago

When it all began

Back in Bethlehem

In the promised land 


When a single star

Appeared in the sky

And three kings saw

And they each asked why 


And they checked the books

Full of prophecy

And the one king said

Why it's plain to me 


You see it means

That a king is born

Who will save mankind

On this blessed morn 


So they packed some gold

Myrrh and frankincense

On some old camel

With some fancy tents 


Closed down the house

Set the servants free

And three kings rode

Into history 


It was long ago

In a foreign land

When the Lord looked down

Said to make a stand

So He sent His son

And said, 'through him you'll know me!' 


Then the angels came 

And when they start to sing

All at once the past 


It doesn't mean a thing 

And the star comes out

And the wise men say, Hey show me! 


And they followed it

Over hills and sand

Til' they found the child

Like it all was planned

And as they knelt before

The newborn king 


The angel's were singing

In their angel style

How all of our hopes

Had come down to this child


Then he reached for the song

And he held it in his hand

(It was something that he did

Because angels can)


And he wondered to himself

"Is this the answer that I sought"

But something was still missing

Or at least so he still thought 


And so he journeyed on

Through the midnight winter air

When all at once our angel 

Felt the touch of a man's prayer 


And looking once more to the earth

To determine whence it came

He felt a million souls below

But one was not the same 


For there he saw a man alone 

Though he was walking in a crowd

And though this man had rarely prayed

Tonight his head was bowed 


For even in a crowd, you see

A heart can feel alone

When the night is Christmas Eve

A child is not at home 


So from a father to the Lord

A prayer did swiftly race

But the angel saw it first

And he listened to its case
