Joy to the world, the Lord will come
1
Joy to the world, the Lord will come!Let earth receive her King;Let every heart prepare him room,And heaven and nature sing.
2
Joy to the earth, the Lord will reign!Let men their songs employ;While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains,Repeat the sounding joy.
3
No more let sin and sorrow grow,Nor thorns infest the ground;He comes to make his blessings flowFar as the curse is found.
4
Soon will he rule the earth with grace,And make the nations proveThe glories of his righteousness,And wonders of his love.
