201 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,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing.
2 Joy to the world! the Savior reigns:
Let men their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rocks, hills,
and plains,
I: Repeat the sounding joy. :I
3 No more let sins and sorrows grow,
No thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
I: Far as the curse is found. :I
4 He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
I: And wonders of His love. :I
