about

But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.'
Luke 2:10-11

When the Church of England announced their advent theme for 2020 as "Comfort and Joy", we decided to get on board by writing a song on that theme. With the Covid-19 pandemic as the backdrop, this song traces why the good news of Jesus' birth brings lasting comfort and joy. It climaxes with Jesus' promised return: "every longing then fulfilled, every storm forever stilled!" Comfort and joy indeed!

Joyful Noise
Writing songs from the word to the heart for the church

lyrics

Hear the songs of angels rise
Through dark and troubled skies
The sound of glory
Bringing tidings of great joy
No sorrow can destroy
Salvation's story
To our world of grief and pain
God stepped down on Christmas day

Comfort and joy! Comfort and joy!
Hope has dawned
With the newborn boy
Comfort and joy! Comfort and joy!
Come and join with the angel song! Rejoice!

Unto us a son is born
The light of life has dawned
The hope of nations
All our tears will fill his soul
Yet gladly bears them all
Our great salvation
Every sin borne at the cross
Risen now he walks with us

Comfort and joy! Comfort and joy!...

Soon he'll wipe our tears away
In ever brighter day
His glory shining
Angels fill the air one more
'Come worship and adore!
The lord is reigning!'
Every longing then fulfilled
Every storm forever stilled!

Comfort and joy! Comfort and joy!...
