122e. Joy to the world

1 Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepared 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 He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness,
And wonders of his love.
