Let earth receive her king
Let every heart prepare him room
And heaven, let heaven, heaven and nature
Heaven and nature sing
Everybody sing joy to the world
The Lord is come
Let every heart prepare him room
Heaven and nature sing (heaven and nature sing), heaven and nature sing
Go tell it, go tell it his glory
