LARI GOSS

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.

O come all ye faithful, Joyful, and triumphant; O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem!

Come and behold Him born the King of angels!

O come let us adore Him! O come let us adore Him! O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

Silent Night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin mother and child, Holy Infant so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace.

Hark the herald angel sing, “Glory to the newborn King Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!”

Joyful, all ye nations rise, Join the triumph of the skies.

With the angelic hosts proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!”

Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King.”

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, wonder of … His … Love.
