Joy to the World! The Lord is come;

1.

Joy to the World! The Lord is come;

Let earth receive her King;

Let every heart prepare him room,

And heav’n and nature sing,

2.

Joy to the earth! The savior reigns;

Let men their songs employ;

While field and floods, rocks, hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy,

3.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,

Nor thorns infest the ground;

He comes to make His blessings flow

For as the curse is found,

4.

He rules the world with truth and grace,

And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness

And wonders of His love
