Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #320 (2008) Scripture: Jeremiah 23:5 Lyrics: 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,
and heaven and nature sing,
and heaven, and heaven and nature sing.
2 Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns;
let all their songs employ,
while fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains,
repeat the sounding joy,
repeat the sounding joy,
repeat, 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,
and wonders of his love,
and wonders, wonders of his love. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany; Jesus coming again Languages: English Tune Title: ANTIOCH (COMFORT (Mason))
