Joy (To the World)

Come and remember the manger
And the promise that is born today
Won't you look in the eyes of the baby boy
I wonder why the Lord of creation
Would come to me in such a way
And the song they heard the angels sing
Is still echoing
Repeat the sounding...

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Joy, let your heart prepare Him room
Joy, we receive our King
And heaven and nature sing
Heaven and nature
Heaven and nature sing

Stop in the hurry of Christmas
And listen for the angels' song
Stand in the quiet and hear His voice
In your heart hold onto Jesus
For the hope He brought is living on
And the song that warmed the winter's night
Still changes lives
Repeat the sounding...

He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
All of earth and heaven sing

Joy to the world, joy to the world
Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Joy to the world, joy to the world
Joy to the world, the Lord is come

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns
Joy, let the rocks and hills proclaim
Joy, we receive our King
And heaven and nature sing
Heaven and nature sing
