| Joy to the world the Lord is come
|
| Let Earth received her King
|
| Let every heart prepare Him room
|
| And Heav’n and nature sing
|
| By a one lane bridge on an old dirt road
|
| That leads up to grandma’s place
|
| Someone cuttin' down the evergreen
|
| They’re gonna decorate
|
| And miles away the bells are ringing on a street downtown
|
| There’re smiling faces everywhere and magic all around
|
| You can hear the voices of rejoicing love rejoicing love
|
| Singing joy to the world from up above
|
| Bringing peace, good will to men
|
| It’s that special time again
|
| You can hear the voices of rejoicing love
|
| From Tennessee to Jerusalem families gather from far and wide
|
| Here the smell of cookin' from Grandma’s kitchen carries them all inside
|
| And where cannons roar, they’re silent for the crying of a child
|
| And enemies or brother if only for a while
|
| Later on in the silent night while the whole world’s fast asleep
|
| There’s a feeling in the stillness by the light of the Christmas tree |
