Chorus
Once upon a silent morn
Sweet joy rang out
Sweet joy rang out
For all whose hearts lay empty, cold
Sweet joy came down to earth
Into our hearts
Came life unknown
And from above
New life was sown
Chorus
Once upon a silent morn
Sweet joy rang out
Sweet joy rang out
For all whose hearts lay empty, cold
Sweet joy came down to earth
Into our hearts
Came faith unknown
And from above
New faith was sown
Chorus
Once upon a silent morn
Sweet joy rang out
Sweet joy rang out
For all whose hearts lay empty, cold
Sweet joy came down to earth
Into our hearts
Came hope unknown
And from above
New hope was sown
Chorus
Once upon a silent morn
Sweet joy rang out
Sweet joy rang out
For all whose hearts lay empty, cold
Sweet joy came down to earth
Into our hearts
Came love unknown
And from above
New love was sown
Oh! Through the darkness
Pure light, it beamed
Through life’s coldness
Pure light, it streamed
And into every heart
Where faith, hope and love were hidden
Love, it appeared
Where love once dreamed
Oh! Love, He appeared
Where love once dreamed
