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
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
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Christ is born
For unto us a child is born
Unto us a Son is given
And He will be called
Wonderful Councillor
The mighty God
The everlasting Father
The Prince of Peace
The weight of the world on His shoulders
And His kingdom will never end
The weight of the world on His shoulders
And His kingdom will never end
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
