Joy to the world
The Lord is come
Let earth receive its King
Let ev'ry heart
Prepare him room
And heav'n and nature sing
And heav'n and nature sing
And heav'n and heav'n
And nature sing
“And The Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.”
Heaven and nature sing! Heaven and nature are one! This is God's joy in the world! God's; Grace; Come; Down!
God's:
The joy to the world is God's gift to you! Read the name on the tag! Read who sent the gift to you! How much more clear could it be!
Grace:
The one gift we do not deserve, we do not fully understand, we do not expect. The one gift that saves us! The Gift is full of grace and truth! Grace, unconditional love, hope that does not disappoint, heaven and nature perfected in our midst!
Come:
The Lord is come! Let earth receive its King! We did not have to go anywhere! The Word became flesh to live among us, to come to us! For unto us a child is born, a Savior is given! Heaven and nature have come to us, and we have seen his glory!
Down:
The Gift came from the only place The Gift could come from! The Gift came from the place where The Gift has been for all eternity! The Gift has come from heaven! Now let heaven and nature sing!
Let us pray: Jesus Christ born on this day so long ago, by your grace come down. I have read the tag, I have opened my undeserved gift, I receive you as you come to live among us, and I praise the heavens. Thanks to every sign of your grace come down, I join heaven and nature, and I sing, for I have seen your glory! I give you all thanks and praise and glory, for the blessed gift of Christ in Christmas, for Joy to the World! In your name I pray, this holy morning and always, blessed with your grace and truth. Amen.
