1. [G] Joy to the world, the [D] Lord is [G] come!
Let [C] earth [D] receive her [G] King,
Let [G] every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing, and [D] Heaven and nature sing,
And [G] Heaven, and [C] Heaven, and [G] [D] nature [G] sing.
2. [G] Joy to the earth, the [D] Savior [G] reigns!
Let [C] men their [D] songs [G] employ,
[G] While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy, [D] repeat the sounding joy,
[G] Repeat, [C] repeat, the [G] [D] sounding [G] joy.
3. [G] No more let sins and [D] sorrows [G] grow,
Nor [C] thorns [D] infest the [G] ground
He [G] comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found, far [D] as the curse is found,
Far [G] as, far [C] as the [G] curse [D] is [G] found
4. [G] He rules the world with [D] truth and [G] grace,
And [C] makes the [D] nations [G] prove
The [G] glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love, and [D] wonders of His love,
And [G] wonders, [C] wonders, [G] of [D] His [G] love.
