Joy to the world! The Lord is come:    let earth receive her King!    Let every heart prepare him room    and heaven and nature sing.       Joy to the earth! the Saviour reigns:    let men their songs employ    while fields and floods rocks hills and plains    repeat the sounding joy.       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.          He rules the earth with truth and grace,    and makes the nations prove    the glories of his righteousnes    and wonders of his love
