English text

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.

Joy to the world! The Saviour reigns;

Let men their songs employ,

While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains

repeat the sounding joy.

He rules the world, with truth and grace,

and makes the nations prove

the glories of His righteousness

and wonders of His love.
