Christy Nockels' 'Joy to the World / The King Is Coming' is a medley that blends the classic Christmas hymn with a contemporary chorus. The song celebrates the birth of Jesus as the coming King, inviting listeners to prepare their hearts and receive Him. It echoes the hymn's themes of joy, redemption, and the reign of Christ, while the added chorus emphasizes the anticipation of His return. The lyrics speak of creation rejoicing, sin and sorrow being overcome, and God's truth and grace ruling the nations. It's a worshipful call to open one's eyes, ears, mind, and heart to the King's arrival.

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
let earth receive her King
Let ev'ry 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
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
No more, let sin and sorrows grow
Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make His blessings flow
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 the wonders of His love, and wonders of His love
And wonder, wonders of His love
And the King is coming
Open up your eyes to see it, open up your ears to hear it
The King is coming
Open up your minds, believe it, open up your heart, receive Him
