JOY TO THE WORLD

Joy to the world! The Lord has come!Let earth receive her King!Let every heart prepare Him room

and heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing,

And heaven and heaven and nature sing!

Joy to the earth! The Savior reigns!Let men their songs employ

while fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plainsrepeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat, repeat the sounding joy!

No more let sins and sorrows grow, nor thorns infest the ground.

He comes to make His blessings flowfar as the curse is found, far as the curse is found,

Far as, far as the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and graceand makes the nations provethe glories of His righteousnessand wonders of His love and wonders of His love

And wonders, wonders of His love!
