22. Antioch

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,
And heav'n and nature sing,
And heav'n, 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.
