Joy Has Dawned - Bethany Dillon & Matt Hammitt

Joy Has Dawned Lyrics

Joy has dawned upon the world
Promised from creation
God's salvation now unfurled
Hope for every nationNot with fanfares from above
Not with scenes of glory
But a humble gift of love
Jesus born of MarySounds of wonder fill the sky
With the songs of angels
As the mighty Prince of Life
Shelters in a stableHands that set each star in place
Shaped the earth in darkness
Cling now to a mother's breast
Vuln'rable and helplessShepherds bow before the Lamb
Gazing at the glory
Gifts of men from distant lands
Prophesy the storyGold, a King is born today
Incense, God is with us
Myrrh, His death will make a way

And by His blood He'll win usSon of Adam, Son of Heaven
Given as a ransom
Reconciling God and man
Christ, the mighty championWhat a Savior, what a friend
What a glorious mystery
Once a babe in Bethlehem
Now the Lord of history
