Joy Has Dawned Lyrics - Singles - Bethany Dillon & Matt Hammitt

Joy has dawned upon the world 

Promised from creation 

God's salvation now unfurled 

Hope for every nation 

Not with fanfares from above 

Not with scenes of glory 

But a humble gift of love 

Jesus born of Mary 

Sounds of wonder fill the sky 

With the songs of angels 

As the mighty Prince of Life 

Shelters in a stable 

Hands that set each star in place 

Shaped the earth in darkness 

Cling now to a mother's breast 

Vuln'rable and helpless 

Shepherds bow before the Lamb 

Gazing at the glory 

Gifts of men from distant lands 

Prophesy the story 

Gold, a King is born today 

Incense, God is with us 

Myrrh, His death will make a way 

And by His blood He'll win us 

Son of Adam, Son of Heaven 

Given as a ransom 

Reconciling God and man 

Christ, the mighty champion 

What a Savior, what a friend 

What a glorious mystery 

Once a babe in Bethlehem 

Now the Lord of history
