Joy To The World Our God Reigns

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

Joy to the world! The Saviour reigns’¨
Let men their songs employ’¨
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
ԬRepeat 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

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

Let heaven and nature sing, let heaven and nature sing
Our God reigns!
Let heaven and nature sing, let heaven and nature sing
He reigns!
