Joy to the world
Joy to the world
Joy to the world

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

Joy to the world
The savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

Joy to the world
Joy to the world
Joy to the world
Joy to the world

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





And heaven and heaven and nature sing

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Boney M's "Joy To The World" song are rooted in Christian theology and express the joy and celebration that comes with the arrival of Jesus Christ. The first verse celebrates the arrival of the Lord and encourages the earth to prepare for his arrival, singing that "heaven and nature" will join in this celebration as well. The second verse continues this celebration by declaring that the "savior reigns" and that people should join in singing his praises. The final verse repeats the first verse, reiterating the joy that comes with the arrival of Jesus.


The song's lyrics are based on Psalm 98, which is a psalm of praise for God's salvation and victories. The words were adapted into song lyrics by Isaac Watts, an English writer and theologian, and the melody was written by George Frideric Handel, a German-English composer. The lyrics were then modified and arranged by Lowell Mason.
