Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart
Prepare Him room
Let Heaven and Nature sing
Let Heaven and Nature sing
Let Heaven and Nature sing
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns
Let Saints their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, Repeat, the sounding joy

I just love this song by this wonderful family ❤
So glad that my oldest daughter and youngest daughter shared this with me. They were sharing memories - memories of so many kinds of music introduced to them since wee ones.

I like Bebe and Cece's version of this song more than any other version, and it's one of the best Christmas songs I have ever heard. I find that Bebe and Cece both sound good singing the song together as well. I also remember when my mom first had this Christmas album, she would play it around the holiday season and I would always enjoy listening to it, and it also became one of my favorite Christmas albums. And I have to say that I like Bebe and Cece Winans and their music.
