156b. Joy to the world, joy to the world

1 Joy to the world, joy to the world,
Joy to the world the Lord is come,
Joy to the world, joy to the world,
Let earth receive her King.
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room,
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room,

Chorus:
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room,
And heav'n and nature sing
Joy to the world, joy to the world,
Joy to the world the Lord is come.
Joy to the world, joy to the world,
Let earth receive her King.

2 Joy to the earth, joy to the earth,
Joy to the earth the Saviour reigns;
Joy to the earth, joy to the earth,
Let men their songs employ.
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains,
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains,

Chorus:
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Joy to the world, joy to the world,
Joy to the world the Lord is come,
Joy to the world, joy to the world,
Let earth receive her King.
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen.
