The lyrics to Pentatonix's "Joy to the World" are the traditional Christmas carol with a few minor additions. The song begins by rejoicing in the Lord's arrival and the reception of the King by the earth. The song encourages everyone to prepare their hearts for His arrival and for Heaven and nature to sing. The second part of the song exclaims that the Savior reigns and implores men to sing songs of joy. The natural world joins in the celebration, as fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains repeat the sounding joy. The lyrics then repeat the same phrases, adding a few lines that encourage the angel's voices to ring out as well.
The lyrics of "Joy to the World" encourage believers to celebrate the coming of Christ with great joy. The song draws on images of nature to convey that all creation participates in the celebration. The phrase "Let every heart prepare Him room" is particularly striking because it suggests that the celebration of Christ's birth requires a particular kind of spiritual preparation. Instead of merely rejoicing in the birth of Christ, the lyrics call on the listener to make room in their hearts for Him.
