Joy to the World
Disney Lyrics

Joy to the
Joy to the
Joy to the
Joy to the
Joy to the
Joy to the world
Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
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 earth, the Savior reigns!
Let all their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground.
He comes to make his blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as the curse is found.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness,
And wonders of his love,
And wonders of his love,
And wonders, wonders of his love.
The song Joy to the World is a celebration of the arrival of Jesus Christ, where the lyrics express the joy and happiness that arrives with his coming. The song begins with the repetition of "Joy to the world," as if to emphasize the magnitude of the event. The next line, "the Lord is come," further emphasizes that something great has happened. The song then shifts in focus to the earth, where the writer implores the listener to receive their king, thus establishing Jesus's kingship over everything. The repetition of "And heaven and nature sing" is a nod to the adoration and respect that all of creation holds for Jesus' arrival.
The following verse emphasizes that Jesus' rule as the savior is paramount, overwhelming and so joyful that it makes fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains, fill with joyful music. Finally, the song speaks of Jesus' healing powers, taking away sorrows and sins and making the world a better place. It ends by explaining that Jesus rules the world with truth and grace and makes the nations appreciate his glory and the wonders of his love.

The Christmas hymn and animation along with many singing voices coming from Larry Groce and the children are all beautiful and inspirational. Hard to believe it’s been exactly 14 years since this video was uploaded and it has never been removed, fortunately. Talk about Joy to the World and hopefully 2024 and 2025 will grow better as 2023 ends.
