Children's Bible Songs

CJoy to the World , the Lord Gis Ccome!
Let Fearth re-Gceive her CKing;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And GHeaven and nature sing,
And CHeaven, and Heaven, and na-Gture Csing.

Joy to the World, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.

Note: This song is meant to be sung in “rounds.”
The starting group (e.g. the girls) sings the first line, then the other group (e.g. the boys) sings the first line while the first group sings the second line, etc. So one group trails the other and the basic melody turns into a beautiful close harmony.

GThis is the day, (this is the day)
That the DLord hath made (that the Lord hath made)
I will rejoice (I will rejoice)
And be Gglad in it (and be glad in it)
CThis is the day that the GLord hath made,
CI will rejoice and be Gglad in it,
GThis is the day, this is the day,
That the Lord Dhath Gmade.

The devil wants everybody grumpy
The devil wants everybody sad
The devil wants everybody grumpy, grumpy, grumpy
And he never wants anybody glad
But Jesus wants everybody happy
Jesus wants everybody glad
Jesus wants everybody happy, happy, happy
And He doesn’t want anybody sad!

Jesus wants me for a sunbeam
To shine for Him each day;
In ev’ry way try to please Him,
At home, at school, at play.
Chorus:
A sunbeam, a sunbeam
Jesus wants me for a sunbeam,
A sunbeam, a sunbeam
I’ll be a sunbeam for Him.
Jesus wants me to be loving,
And kind to all I see
Showing how pleasant and happy
His little ones can be.
Chorus
I will ask Jesus to help me
To keep my heart from sin;
Ever reflecting His goodness,
And always shine for Him.
Chorus

It’s bubbling, it’s bubbling,
It’s bubbling in my soul.
There’s singing and laughing,
Since Jesus made me whole.
Folks can’t understand it,
How can I keep it quiet?
It bubbling, bubbling, bubbling,
Bubbling, bubbling day and night!

If you’re

Ghappy and you know it, clap your Dhands,
If you’re Dhappy and you know it, clap your Ghands,
If you’re Chappy and you know it, then your Glife will surely Emshow it,
If you’re Dhappy and you know it, clap your Ghands!

If you’re happy and you know it, stomp your feet…
If you’re happy and you know it, shout AMEN!…
If you’re happy and you know it, shake your head…

If you’re happy and you know it, touch your toes…
If you’re happy and you know it, beep your nose…
If you’re happy and you know it, say, “Ooga booga!”…
(Actually, we sing “If you’re SAVED and you know it…”)
