Joy to the world, the Lord has come!
Let earth receive her King
let every heart prepare him room
and heaven and nature sing
Joy to the earth, the Saviour reigns!
Your sweetest songs employ
while fields and streams and hills and plains
repeat the sounding joy
He rules the world with truth and grace
and makes the nations prove
the glories of his righteousness
the wonders of his love
