Jesus Joy of the Highest Heaven [Spanish translation]

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,

The 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.

Jesus, laid in a lowly manger,

Facing a world of dangers,

Come to turn me a stranger

Into a child of God.

Steady my simple footsteps,

That I might, in Your goodness,

Live as a child of God.
