The Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#32

32. Joy to the World, the Lord is Come!

1 Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room,
And heav'n and nature sing,
And heav'n and nature sing,
And heav'n, and heav'n and nature sing.

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

3 No more let sin and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Where'er the curse is found,
Where'er the curse is found,
Where'er, where'er the curse is found.

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

Amen.
