1 Joy, joy to all, O happy, happy tidings;
Hear the voice of mercy and love;
Come, weary soul, on Christ the Lord believe;
Look unto Him, His grace receive;
Praise ye the Lord, O praise Him, every nation,
Come before Him with a grateful song;
Strike, strike your harps, ye everlasting throng,
Praise Him now and forever.
Come, weary soul, on Christ the Lord believe;
Look unto Him, His grace receive.
2 Joy, joy to all, the promised day is breaking;
Soon the world its glory shall see;
Soon will the star that hailed Messiah’s birth,
Shine, brightly shine o’er all the earth;
Praise ye the Lord, the hope of our salvation,
Now with rapture let the temple ring;
Come with delight, and worship Judah’s King,
Praise Him now and forever.
Come, weary soul, on Christ the Lord believe;
Look unto Him, His grace receive.
3 Joy, joy to all, O blessed proclamation!
Peace and truth in triumph shall reign;
Lift up your eyes, behold the ransomed ones
Shouting aloud their tuneful strain;
Praise ye the Lord, the Prince of Life eternal,
Sing His glory while we march along;
Strike, strike your harps, ye everlasting throng,
Praise Him now and forever.
Come, weary soul, on Christ the Lord believe;
Look unto Him, His grace receive.
