“Great Joy to All People”
By Flora E. Warren
“Unto you is born this day . . . a Saviour” “Call His name Jesus for He shall save His people from their sins.” SHOUT for joy, earth sons and daughters everywhere!
Unto you, to-day, God sends good news, as when
Angels came with joy, where shepherds watched, to bear
Joyful news of God's love-gift to sinful men.
Hear again the sweetest message of God's word:
Though your sins are many, and the deepest hue,
If you weary of your sin,
And will let the Saviour in,
There is pardon, peace, and cleansing now for you.
Unto you is born, this day,
One who'll wash your sins away,
And will be your daily Guide, and Saviour, too. Are you troubled, finding not the paths of peace?
Do you wander in the dismal fields of doubt?
Follow Christ. His peace and wisdom never cease.
All who follow Him will ever find it out.
Though the ways of sin and death seem smooth and bright,
He will turn your feet from error's subtle glare,
And will lead you day and night
In the way of truth and light,
Where is joy untold, that all who will may share.
Though you may not understand,
If you let Him hold your hand,
You will reach the gates of life, and enter there. Weary ones, who seek the fleeting joys of earth,
Heed this loving message God now sends to you.
You who know God's pow'r, and Jesus' wondrous birth,
Will you let Him save to-day, and keep you true?
Tell the joyful news to all who will believe:
Jesus Christ to-day will set sin's captives free.
All who trust His wondrous pow'r,
He will save from sin this hour.
Prince of peace and mighty Word of God is He.
Praise Him in the hush of morn,
That for you the Christ is born,
Who will save to-day and through eternity.
