  1. Joy to the world! the lord is come;
    Let earth re-ceive her King;
    Let ev-ery heart pre-pare him room,
    And heaven and na-ture sing,
    And heaven and na-ture sing,
    And heaven and na-ture sing.
  2. Joy to the world! the Sav-iour reigns;
    Let men their songs em-ploy
    While fields and floods,
    rocks, hills and plains
    Re-peat the sound-ing joy,
    Re-peat the sound-ing joy,
    Re-peat, re-peat the sound-ing joy.
  3. He rules the world with truth and grace,
    And makes the nations prove
    The glo-ries of his right-eous-ness,
    And won-ders of his love,
    And won-ders of his love
    And won-ders, and won-ders of his love.
    A-men.
