NO WONDER
No wonder angels came first to the
shepherds,
Announcing to earth, "The Good Shepherd is here!"
Announcing to earth, "The Good Shepherd is here!"
No wonder that great host of heavenly
beings,
Appeared as a choir, sang loud and clear.
Peace on the earth! Beloved children, sing it!
Appeared as a choir, sang loud and clear.
Peace on the earth! Beloved children, sing it!
Joy to the World! 'Twill never be the same!
Good will to men, from the heart of creation,
All given in the sweet Savior's name!
Good will to men, from the heart of creation,
All given in the sweet Savior's name!
It wasn't to the palace of great Herod
Or to the high priest of Sanhedrin.
Not even sent to Pilate's royal quarters;
Or to the high priest of Sanhedrin.
Not even sent to Pilate's royal quarters;
It was to simple, tender hearted, men.
A simple man, who'd go to find the lost sheep
Even in the darkest part of night ~
With voice that little lambs all would respond to.
The Good Shepherd's voice and the warmth of His light!
A simple man, who'd go to find the lost sheep
Even in the darkest part of night ~
With voice that little lambs all would respond to.
The Good Shepherd's voice and the warmth of His light!
For, Jesus, while here, always sought the lost
sheep
And, still, if your heart tunes in just right,
You'll hear the call, “Come home, lost lamb. I love you!”
Just answer and feel His arm 'round you tight!
And, still, if your heart tunes in just right,
You'll hear the call, “Come home, lost lamb. I love you!”
Just answer and feel His arm 'round you tight!
"Good Shepherd, come. I am weary of darkness!
Wolves howl beside me. I need Thy light!
Good Shepherd. Yes, I know and feel You love me.
Carry me back to Thy safe fold tonight!"
Peace on the earth! Oh, beloved, let's sing it!
Joy to the World that will not be the same!
Good will to men sent to us from our Father;
Everything given in the sweet Shepherd's name...
All given in the Lamb of Calvary's shame!
Wolves howl beside me. I need Thy light!
Good Shepherd. Yes, I know and feel You love me.
Carry me back to Thy safe fold tonight!"
Peace on the earth! Oh, beloved, let's sing it!
Joy to the World that will not be the same!
Good will to men sent to us from our Father;
Everything given in the sweet Shepherd's name...
All given in the Lamb of Calvary's shame!

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;
Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross,
despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the
throne of God. Hebrews 12:2
Music is Glory to
God in the Highest
