St. Al's Choir Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Verse 1]

What a notion to behold
Baby Jesus in that scene

[Verse 2]

With his mother and Joseph
Shepherds watching by His side

[CHORUS]

Joy, joy, joy to the world
A Babe in a manger smiles for us
Joy, joy, sing to the earth
Christ has come to redeem us

[Verse 3]

Mary so innocently standing there
Fills the creche with holiness

[Verse 4]

One bright star stops overhead
All the beasts of burden quivering

[CHORUS]

Joy, joy, joy to the world
A Babe in a manger smiles for us




Joy, joy, sing to the earth
Christ has come to redeem us
