The air is electric with laughter and cheer,
Echoes of love ring out, wrapping all near,
As the seasons change,
With each new dawn, find beauty in the range,
Nature’s canvas, a sight that will amaze,
Joy to the world, let the laughter ring.

In the moments we share,
In kindness and love, just show that we care,
Through trials and triumphs, we will stand side by side,
In the journey of life, let love be our guide,
Joy to the world, where the heartbeats align,
In friendship and laughter, our spirits entwine.

Joy to the world, let the angels sing,
Their heavenly chorus, proclaiming their king,
With men and women, we gather in awe,
To honor the miracle, the gift of love,
Joy to the world, as we share in his grace.
Joy to the world, for he brings us peace,
In the presence of Christ,  our worries will cease,
With kindness and love, let our hearts be aglow,
Reflecting his light in all that we know.

So, Joy to the world, let the bells ring true,
For the blessings of Christmas, old and new,
May his love ever stay,
In our hearts and homes, this glorious day.
