1.
- 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.
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.
3.
- He rules the world, with truth and grace,
- and makes the nations prove
- the glories of His righteousness
- and wonders of His love.
Lyrics: Isaac Watts
