Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs ‎#CXVI

CXVI. Praise

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.

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.

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.
