Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Joy, joy

Joy to the world

The Lord has 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

[Verse 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

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

[Verse 3]

Yes, sir

[Verse 4]

(Joy) Oh yeah

Joy

Joy to the world

Joy (Joy)

Joy to the world

Joy

Joy to the world

Joy

Joy to the world

Yes sir

(Joy) Oh yeah

He rules the world with truth and grace

And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness

The wonders of His love

And wonders of His love

And wonders, wonders of His love

Wonders (Wonders of His love)

[Verse 5]

Joy to the world

Joy to you and me

Joy to all the children

Joy to you and me

[Verse 6]

Joy to the people

(Joy to you and me)

Joy to all the teachers

(Joy to you and me)

[Verse 7]

And wonders, wonders of His love

(And heaven and nature sing)

(And heaven and nature sing)

Joy

(And heaven and nature sing)

(And heaven and nature sing)

And heaven and heaven and nature sing
