1 Joy to the world! sound forth
From land to land the story;
Th’incarnate God is come!
The Babe enshrined in glory.
Refrain:
To us a child is born,
To us a son is giv’n,
’Tis Jesus, Prince of Peace!
A pledge of love from Heav’n.
2 All wrapped in swaddling clothes
The tender Infant sleeping,
His cradle angels guard,
Their holy vigils keeping. [Refrain]
3 The heavn’ly host proclaim,
In joyful chorus singing,
God’s covenant of peace,
To man salvation bringing. [Refrain]
4 Glory to God on high,
His Son belovèd sending,
The world to reconcile,
Justice and mercy blending. [Refrain]
5 Praise Him, ye nations all,
The word of life believing,
With reverential love,
The priceless boon receiving. [Refrain]
