Hymns of the Lutheran Church

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
