Sunday Hymn: Jesus, Joy of the Highest Heaven

Jesus, joy of the highest heaven,

Born as a little baby

Under a wondrous star.

Like us, crying He takes His first breath

Held by His mother, helpless

Close to her beating heart.

Jesus, laid in a lowly manger,

Facing a world of dangers,

Come to turn me a stranger

Into a child of God.

Jesus, King of the highest heaven

Learning to take His first steps,

That He might bring us life.

Like us, knowing our smiles and sorrows,

He showed the way to follow,

A way that is true and right.

Jesus, take away every darkness,

Steady my simple footsteps

That I might in your goodness

Live as a child of God.

—Keith Getty and Kristyn Getty

What a great video! I always love to see little boys learning to sing. It's usually the girls who take the lead in such events.

That's exactly why I picked it—because it was a boy.
