Lyrics
(Melody by George Frederick Handel, Lyrics by Isaac Watts, 1719)
Joy to the world! The Lord is come
Let earth receive her King!
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing (repeat twice)
Joy to the world! the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy (repeat twice)
No more let sins and sorrows grow
Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make
His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found (repeat twice)
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love (repeat twice)
