Joy Unto The World Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was a silent night, a holy night
When all the world was sleeping
In a little town, on lowly ground
No one knew what was coming

[Pre-Chorus]
In a manger we would find
Our humble King
All creation held its breath
When suddenly

[Chorus]
Your light came breaking through the darkness
Waking every heart with
Heaven singing joy unto the world
Our long awaited Savior
You will reign forever
We are singing joy unto the world

[Verse 2]
Hope is here, so lift your eyes
And see His glory and splendor
Son of God, love’s pure light
We come before You in wonder
[Pre-Chorus]
In a manger we have found
Our Mighty King
All creation held it's breath
When suddenly


[Chorus]
Your light came breaking through the darkness
Waking every heart with
Heaven singing joy unto the world
Our long awaited Savior
You will reign forever
We are singing joy unto the world

[Bridge]
Joy to the world
The Lord has 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 nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
All heaven and nature sing

[Chorus]
Your light came breaking through the darkness
Waking every heart with
Heaven singing joy unto the world
Our long awaited Savior
You will reign forever
We are singing joy unto the world
Your light came breaking through the darkness
Waking every heart with
Heaven singing joy unto the world
Our long awaited Savior
You will reign forever
We are singing joy unto the world

[Outro]
Joy unto the world
Joy unto the world
