Lyrics:

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!  Let Earth receive her King’ let every heart prepare him room and saints and angels sing, and saints and angels sing, and saints and saints and angles sing.

Rejoice!  Rejoice when Jesus reigns, and Saints their songs employ.  While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy, repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

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!
