1. Joy to the earth! The Prince of Peace
His ban­ner has un­furled;
Let strife, and sin, and er­ror cease,
And joy per­vade the world,
And joy per­vade the world.

2. Praise ye the Lord! for truth and grace
His word and life dis­play;
Let ev­ery soul His love em­brace,
And own its gen­tle sway,
And own its gen­tle sway.

3. Peace on the earth, good will to men,
Embrace the Gos­pel plan;
Let that sweet strain be heard again,
Which an­gel tongues be­gan,
Which an­gel tongues be­gan.

4. Joy to the isles and lands afar!
Messiah reigns ab­ove;
Let ev­ery eye be­hold the star,
The star of light and love—
The star of light and love.
