Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing

Let men their songs employ
While fields and rocks, hills and plains

He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
