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 nature sing ( And heav'n and nature sing! ) And heav'n and heav'n and nature sing.

Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns; Let men their songs employ; While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains Repeat the sounding joy ( Repeat the sounding joy! ) Repeat the sounding joy ( Repeat the sounding joy! ) 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 ( And wonders of His love! ) And wonders of His love ( And wonders of His love! ) And wonders, and wonders of His love.
