[Verse 1]
Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
Let Heaven, let Heaven, Heaven and nature, Heaven and nature sing

Everybody sing (Joy to the world, the Lord, the Lord is come)
Let earth (Let earth) receive (Receive) her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
(And Heaven and nature sing) Heaven and nature sing

Go tell it (Go tell it, His glory)
Shout out new story (Go shout the new story)
That a Savior is born
(Let) Heaven, (Let) Heaven, (Let) Heaven and nature
[Verse 3]
(Joy to the world, the Lord, the Lord is come)
Let Heaven and earth (And earth) receive (Receive her King)
Let fields and flocks, rocks, hills, and plains

Joy to the world, for the Savior reigns
And makes His blessings flow
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic hosts proclaim
Glory to the King
While the angels sing
