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
Joy to the Earth, 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
We're singing joy to the lonely
Joy when it's hard to come by
Joy like a river that never runs dry
Joy for the ages
Joy in the morning sunrise
Joy 'cause it's Christmas
He's with us, He's given us this joy
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
We're singing joy to the lonely
Joy when it's hard to come by
Joy like a river that never runs dry
Joy for the ages
Joy in the morning sunrise
Joy 'cause it's Christmas
He's with us, He's given us this joy
To the world, I'm telling you
There's joy to the world
Joy to the world
He's bringing all the joy to the world
Joy to the world
I'm telling you
There's joy to the world
Joy to the world
It's Christmas, He's given us this joy
