GOOD NEWS OF GREAT JOY




"And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him
in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because
there was no room for them in the inn."
--- Luke 2:7



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!

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, and wonders, of His love.
