Comfort and Joy

The sound of carols a-singing opens up a neighbor′s door
For a month out of the year, we aren't strangers anymore
As our hearts open up like a gift under the tree
And Charlie Brown and Linus preach the gospel on TV
With tidings of comfort and joy

There is comfort for the weary
Joyful songs of healing
That God wrapped his heart up in his own little boy
At Christmas
To give us
Comfort and joy
Joy
Joy

I saw my great aunt Josie just that one day every year
Both of us were grateful that Christmas brought us near
The spirit of the season makes us all a bit more loving
As we gather ′round the table to taste the kingdom coming
With tidings of comfort and joy (oh, hallelujah)
(In excelsis deo)

There is comfort for the weary
Joyful songs of healing
That God wrapped his heart up in his own little boy
At Christmas
To give us comfort and joy
Joy

Tidings of comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Yeah

There is comfort for the weary
Joyful songs of healing (oh)
God wrapped his heart up in his own little boy
At Christmas
To give us comfort and joy (comfort and joy)
Joy (comfort and joy)
Joy

Comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
