553 JOY TO THE WORLD

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!

Let earth receive her King

Let every heart prepare Him room

And heaven and nature sing (3X)

Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns!

Let men their songs employ

While fields and floods,

Rocks, hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy (3X)

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 (3X)

He rules the world with truth and grace

And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness

And wonders of His love (3X)
