Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room
And heav'n and nature sing ( And heav'n and nature sing! )
And heav'n and nature sing ( And heav'n and nature sing! )
And heav'n and heav'n and nature sing
[Instrumental]
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 the sounding joy ( Repeat the sounding joy! )
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
[Instrumental]
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 of His love ( And wonders of His love! )
And wonders, and wonders of His love
