o thou joyful

O Thou joyful,
O Thou wonderful,
Grace-revealing Christmastide!

Jesus came to win us,
From all sin within us,
Glorify the Holy Child!

O Thou joyful, O Thou wonderful
Love-revealing Christmastide!
Loud hosannas singing
And all praises bringing:
May Thy love with us abide!

O Thou joyful, O Thou wonderful
Peace-revealing Christmastide!
Darkness disappeareth,
God's own light now neareth:
Peace and joy to all betide!
