54. JOY to the World; the Lord is Come!

Verse 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.

 

Verse 2

Joy to the Earth; the Savior reigns!

Let men their songs employ;

While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains

Repeat the sounding joy.

Verse 3

No more let sins and sorrows grow,

Nor thorns infest the ground;

He comes to make His blessings flow

Far as the curse is found.


Verse 4

He rules the world with truth and grace,

And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness,

And wonders of His love.
