joy to the world lyrics

Joy to world, the lord is come;
Let earth receive her king.
Let ev'ry heart prepare him room
And heaven and nature sing ( 3x )

Joy to the world, the saviour reigns;

Let men their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rock, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy (3x )

No more let sin and sorrow grow,

Nor thorns infest the ground.
He comes to make his blessings flow
Far as the curse is found ( 3x )

He rules the world with truth and grace,

And makes the nation prove
The glories of his righteouness
And wonder of his love ( 3x )
