Joy to the world, the Lord has come
Let Earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven, and Heaven, nature sing
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 the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy
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
Far as the curse is found
Far as, far as, the curse is found
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And the wonders of His love
And the wonders, wonders, of His love
He rules the world with truth and grace
And He makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And the wonders of His love
And the wonders, wonders, of His love
His love
His love
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, heaven and nature sing
Yeah let it open up
