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.

< instrumental >

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.

< instrumental >

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.
