6. Joy to the World

1. Joy to the world! the Lord will come
And earth receive her King;
Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room,
And Saints and angels sing,
And Saints and angels sing
And Saints And Saints and angels sing

2. Rejoice! rejoice! When Jesus reigns,
And Saints 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 will sin and sorrow grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He’ll come and make the blessings flow
Far as the curse was found
Far as the curse was found
Far as far as the curse was found

4. Rejoice! rejoice in the Most High!
While Israel spreads abroad
Like stars that glitter in the sky,
And ever worship God,
And ever worship God,
And ever and ever worship God
