==Lyrics==
: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 World, the Saviour 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.

: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,
:Far as the curse is found,
:Far as, far as the curse is found.

: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.
