Shout for joy

 

Oh Lord shout for joy

Oh Lord shout for joy

Oh Lord shout for joy

Oh Lord shout for joy

 

Mary had a baby shout for joy

Mary had a baby shout for joy

Born in a stable shout for joy

Born in a stable shout for joy

She laid him in a manger shout for joy

She laid him in a manger shout for joy

And named him King Jesus shout for joy

And named him King Jesus shout for joy

 

He was the Prince of Peace

A mighty counselor

The King of kings

That Christmas in the morning

 

Shepherd came to see Him shout for joy

Wise men bought Him presents shout for joy

King Herod tried to find Him shout for joy

They went away to Egypt shout for joy

Mary rode a donkey shout for joy

Joseph walked beside her, shout for joy

Angels watching over shout for joy

Angels watching over shout for joy

 

Oh Lord shout for joy

Oh Lord shout for joy

Oh Lord shout for joy

Oh Lord shout for joy

 

He was the Prince of Peace

A mighty counselor

The King of kings

Oh Lord, shout for joy
