Joy to the world
The Lord has come
Let Earth receive her King
Now it was long ago when it all began
Back in Bethlehem in the Promised Land
A single star appeared in the sky
And three kings saw, and they each asked why
Each asked why
And they checked the books full of prophecy
And the one king said, "Why, it's plain to me
You see, it means that a King is born
Who will save mankind on this blessed morn'"
Blessed morn'
So they packed some gold, myrrh, and frankincense
On some old camels with some fancy tents
Closed down the house, set the servants free
And three kings rode into history, history
They rode, rode into history
Yeah, it was long ago in a foreign land
When the Lord looked down, said to make a stand
And so He sent His Son, and He said
"Through Him, you'll know Me"
Well, you'll know me
And then the angels came, and when they start to sing
All at once, the past, it doesn't mean a thing
And the star comes out
And the wise men said, "Hey, show me"
Oh, show me
And they followed it over hills and sand
'Til they found the Child, like it all was planned
And as they knelt before the newborn King
The angels were singing in their angel style
How all of our hopes had come down to this Child
