Text:Joy to the world! the Lord is come
Author:Isaac Watts (1674-1748)

84. Joy to the world! the Lord is come

1 Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King,
Let every heart prepare him room
And Heaven and nature sing.

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

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