Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee / Angels We Have Heard on High

(Album: Maverick City Christmas - 2020)

Joyful, joyful, Lord we adore Thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Opening to the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light of day

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly swinging o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly, sweetly through the night
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brief delight

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Glory to the newborn King
Glory to the newborn King
Glory to the newborn King
Glory, He's the King of the earth
Glory, we'll come and see Him
Glory, we'll look upon His face
Glory, we'll hold Him, God, the Father
Gloria
