136. Joy to the World

1 Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And heaven and nature sing.

Refrain:
Joy, joy, joy, the Lord is come,
Peace on earth, good will to men,
Joy, joy, joy, the Lord is come,
Let earth receive her King.

2 Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy. [Refrain]

3 He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love. [Refrain]
