The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 ‎#324

324. 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 heaven and nature sing.

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

3 No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as 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.

Amen.
