99. Joyful Christmas Day Is Here

1 Joyful, joyful, joyful, joyful, Christmas day is here;
Ding, ding, dong, dong, Hear the church bells ring.
Chime throughout the land,
He was born in Bethlehem;
Baby Jesus came into this world on Christmas day.
Happy, happy, happy, happy, Christmas day is here;
Ding, ding, dong, dong, Hear the church bells ring.

2 Joyful, happy, joyful, happy, Christmas day is here;
Ding, ding, dong, dong, Christmas day is here.
Chime throughout the land,
He was born in Bethlehem;
Baby Jesus came into this world on Christmas day.
Sing together, celebrate Jesus' birthday;
Ding, ding, dong, dong, Christmas day is here.

3 Happy, happy, happy, happy, Christmas day is here;
Jing, jing, cling, cling, Hear the sleigh bells ring.
Santa Claus will come
with his sleigh all filled with toys;
Gifts and good news he will bring to children of the world.
Happy, happy, happy, happy, Christmas day is here;
Jing, jing, cling, cling, Hear the sleigh bells ring.
