| Text: | Joy to the world! the Lord is come |
| Author: | I. Watts |
| Tune: | CHESTERFIELD |
| Composer: | T. Haweis |
1 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.
2 Joy to the world! the Savior reigns:
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy.
3 No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found.
4 He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love.
Amen.
