“Repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy! Repeat, repeat the sounding joy!”
When the angel first appeared to the shepherds, he brought them a message of good news and great joy. What was the good news? A Savior was born! The long-awaited Messiah had come! Why would this message bring great joy?
