Joy to the World (theme by Handel)
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 righteousness
And wonder of His love ( 3x )
