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 )
