How Sweet the Day

Songwriter(s): Stephen Altrogge

CCLI: #4866194

Nov 01 2006

Lyrics:

VERSE 1
How sweet the day when Christ was born
When God Himself took human form
He came to wash our sins away
Our death to die, our debt to pay

VERSE 2
How sweet the day when Hope appeared
The One who frees us from our fears
He came to break the power of sin
And give us power to follow Him

CHORUS
Oh sing for joy, lift up your voice
Let us sing for joy, the whole earth rejoice
Let us sing for joy to the Son
For Jesus, our Savior, has come

VERSE 3
How sweet the day when Christ returns
We’ll see the One for whom we yearn
Then we’ll look full upon His face
Our hearts will burst with songs of praise

BRIDGE
Come, Lord Jesus, come
