Chalice Hymnal ‎#169

169. O Thou Joyful (¡Oh Santísimo!)

1 O thou joyful,
O thou wonderful
grace revealing Christmastide!
Jesus came to win us
from all sin within us;
glorify the holy child!

2 O thou joyful,
O thou wonderful
love revealing Christmastide!
Loud hosannas singing,
and all praises bringing,
may thy love with us abide!

1 ¡Oh santísimo,
felicísimo,
Gratio tiemp de Navidad!
A este mundo herido,
Cristo le ha nacido:
¡Alegría, alegría, cristiandad!

2 ¡Oh santísimo,
felicísimo,
Gratio tiemp de Navidad!
Coros celestiales
Oyen los mortales:
¡Alegría, alegría, cristiandad!

Henry Katterjohn (1869)
Johannes Daniel Falk (1768- 1826)
