Joy to the World Lyrics

Joy to the world the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and, and heaven, yeah, and nature, nature sing

Joy to the earth the Saviour, oh, the Saviour reigns
Let men, their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, yeah, repeat the sounding joy

No more let sins and sorrow grow
Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make His blessings flow
For as the cursed is found
For as the cursed is found
For as, for as, for as the cursed is found

He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders, and wonders, and wonders of His love
The glories of His righteousness
And the wonders of His love
And the wonders of His love
And the wonders, the wonders of His love
