Carol of Joy - BYU Choirs and Philharmonic Orchestra

The BYU Combined Choirs -- BYU Singers, Concert Choir, Mens Chorus and Womens Chorus -- and Philharmonic (yes, I accidentally put the wrong name in the video -- sorry!) Orchestra perform "Carol of Joy," by Dan Forrest on December 10, 2007. Lyrics: Green leaves all fallen, withered and dry; Brief sunset fading, dim winter sky. Lengthening shadows, Dark closing in... Then, through the stillness, carols begin! Oh fallen world, to you is the song-- Death holds you fast and night tarries long. Jesus is born, your curse to destroy! Sweet to your ears, a carol of Joy! Pale moon ascending, solemn and slow; Cold barren hillside, shrouded in snow; Deep, empty valley veiled by the night; Hear angel music--hopeful and bright! Oh fearful world, to you is the song-- Peace with your God, and pardon for wrong! Tidings for sinners, burdened and bound-- A carol of joy! A Saviour is found! Earth wrapped in sorrow, lift up your eyes! Thrill to the chorus filling the skies! Look up sad hearted--witness God's love! Join in the carol swelling above! Oh friendless world, to you is the song! All Heaven's joy to you may belong! You who are lonely, laden, forlorn-- Oh fallen world! Oh friendless world! To you, A Saviour is born!
