Joy to the World
 
Intro
 
Verse1 Joy to the world! The Lord is come;
 Let earth receive her King.
 Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room,
 And heav'n and nature sing,
 And heav'n and nature sing,
 And heav'n and heav'n and nature sing.
 
 
Verse2 Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns;
 Let men their songs employ;
 While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
 Repeat the sounding joy,
 Repeat the sounding joy,
 Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
 
Verse 4 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 and wonders of His love. (End)
 

 
Verse3 (optional)
 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.
