lyrics

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let Earth receive a 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 world, the lord he reigns
Let men their songs employ
Let fields and floods,
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, 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
And wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love

Joy to the world the Lord is come
Let Earth receive a King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing

Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing

Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing
