How Great Our Joy!

While by the sheep we watched at night
Glad tidings brought an angel bright

How great our joy Great our joy
Joy joy joy Joy joy joy
Praise we the Lord in heaven on high
Praise we the Lord in heaven on high

There shall be born so He did say
In Bethlehem a Child today

There shall the Child lie in a stall
This Child who shall redeem us all

This Gift of God we’ll cherish well
That ever joy our hearts shall fill
