JOY TO THE WORLD

  1. Joy to the world! the Lord has come;
    Let earth receive her King;
    Let every heart prepare him room.
    And heav’n and nature sing,
    And heav’n and nature sing,
    And heav’n and heav’n and nature sing.
  2. Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns;
    Let men their songs employ,
    While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
    Repeat the sounding joy,
    Repeat the sounding joy,
    Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
  3. He rules the world, with truth and grace
    And makes the nations prove
    The glories of his righteousness,
    And wonders of his love,
    And wonders of his love,
    And wonders, and wonders of his love.
