Joy to the world, the Lord has come;
let earth receive her King;
let every heart, prepare him room,
and heaven and nature sing, [2]
and heaven, and heaven and nature sing.
Joy to the earth, the Saviour reigns:
let men their songs employ,
while fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains,
{ repeat the sounding joy [2]
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 [2]
and wonders, and wonders of his love.
