Lyrics

Be ye joy­ful, earth and sky,
Hallelujah!
Unto us God’s Son came nigh,
Hallelujah!

Refrain

He for our sal­va­tion
Left God’s ha­bi­ta­tion,
Yes, He left God’s ha­bi­ta­tion.

Here the fair­est rose we see,
Hallelujah!
Blooming forth from Jes­se’s tree,
Hallelujah!

Refrain

He, the great in­car­nate Word,
Hallelujah!
Jesus Christ doth help af­ford,
Hallelujah!
