Joy
Joy
Joy to the world, to the world
Joy to the world, to the world
Rejoice, rejoice our King is here
(He shall reign forever)
Men of earth and angels cheer
(He shall reign forever)
Glory bright before our eyes
(He shall reign forever)
Majesty in a manger lies
(He shall reign forever)
Joy to the world, to the world
The Lord is come
Joy to the world, to the world
God sent this Son
Go tell the world, tell the world
Tell everyone
Joy to the world, to the world
The Lord is come
See the shepherds bowing down
(He shall reign forever)
Wise men offer Him their crowns
(He shall reign forever)
From then to now and far beyond
(He shall reign forever)
We stand and join the endless song
He shall reign forever
Joy to the world, to the world
The Lord is come
Joy to the world, to the world
God sent this Son
Go tell the world, tell the world
Tell everyone
Joy to the world, to the world
The Lord is come
He shall reign forever and ever
He shall reign forever and ever
He shall reign forever and ever
Joy to the world
Joy to the world, to the world
The Lord is come
Joy to the world, to the world
Tell everyone
Joy to the world, to the world
The Lord is come
Joy to the world, to the world
God sent his Son
Go tell the world, tell the world
Tell everyone
Joy to the world, to the world
The Lord is come
Joy to the world, to the world
The Lord is come
Joy to the world, to the world
Tell everyone
Go tell the world, tell the world
The Lord is come
Joy to the world, to the world
The Lord is come
