Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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!
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 hymn that speaks of the arrival of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The first verse speaks of the King's coming and how the earth should receive Him.

The second verse rejoices in the Savior's reign and how all nations should employ their songs to praise Him. It describes how creation - fields, floods, rocks, hills, and plains - all echo the joyous sounds of His Name.
The third verse speaks of the transformation that takes place when Jesus comes into the world. There will no longer be any sins or sorrows, and the ground will be free of thorns. He has come to make His blessings flow, and His grace will extend far beyond the reach of the curse. The fourth and final verse speaks of the Lord's reign over the entire world. He rules with truth and grace, and through Him, the nations will experience the wonders of His love and righteousness.
