Joy to the world, the Lord is come
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
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders, of His love
I've got joy, I've got joy
In my soul, in my soul
I've got hope, I've got hope
In my soul, in my soul
I've got joy, I've got joy
In my soul, in my soul
I've got hope, I've got hope
In my soul, in my soul, yeah!
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
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy!
I've got joy, I've got joy
In my soul, in my soul
I've got hope, I've got hope
In my soul, in my soul
