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.

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.

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 song "Joy to the World" by Kingdom Mass Choir is a Christmas carol that celebrates the arrival of Jesus Christ, the Lord and Savior. The opening stanza emphasizes the fact that He is the King of the Earth and that every person should prepare the way for Him to enter their hearts. It urges all creatures to join in the celebration with a joyous chorus (heaven and nature sing). The second stanza reinforces the idea that Jesus reigns supreme and encourages people to use their voices to praise Him. The focus shifts to God's creations and how they too echo this joyful message throughout the world. Again, the refrain emphasizes that the whole Earth should acknowledge Christ's kingship and allow Him to enter their hearts. The final line is an echo of the joyful chorus started in the first stanza, reminding us that heaven and nature unite in joyful song, declaring the arrival of the Lord.


The lyrics of this song were inspired by Psalm 98 in the Bible, particularly verses 4-9, which urge people to celebrate the Lord with song and music, as all nature joins in the chorus. Although often considered a Christmas carol, "Joy to the World" focuses more on the triumphant return of Christ than His birth. This message is reinforced in the third stanza, which states that Jesus rules the world with truth and grace, leading people to demonstrate His righteousness and recognize the wonders of His love.
