Let Joy And Praise Fill Our Hearts

Peace on earth, good will from Heaven,

Reaching far as man is found;

Man redeemed and sin forgiven;

Hear the golden harps resound.

Christ is born, the great Anointed,

Heaven and earth glad welcome sing.

Hail! Lord Christ, the God appointed

As our prophet, priest, and king.

Song of the Angels

William Auguste Bouguereau

Messiah, joy of every heart,

Thou, thou the King of Glory, art!

The Father's everlasting Son!

Thee it delights Thy church to own;

For all our hopes on Thee depend,

Whose glorious mercies never end.
