Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,

And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.
Joy to the Earth, the Savior reigns!
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy
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
