Joy Fills Our Inmost Hearts To-day

Joy fills our inmost hearts to-day!
The royal Child is born;
And angel hosts in glad array
His advent keep this morn.
Chorus:
Rejoice, rejoice! the incarnate Word
Has come on earth to dwell;
No sweeter sound than this is heard, Emmanuel. 2. Low at the cradle throne we
bend,
We wonder and adore;
And feel no bliss can ours transcend,
No joy was sweet before.
Chorus:
3. For us the world must lose its charms
Before the manger shrine
When, folded in thy mother's arms,
We see thee, Babe divine.
Chorus:

4. Thou Light of untreated Light,
Shine on us, holy Child;
That we may keep thy birthday bright,
With service undefiled.
Chorus:
