":Joy To The World":
lyrics by Isaac Watts - music by George F. Handel

1- Joy to the world, the Lord is 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 nature sing.

2- Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns!
Let all their songs employ; while fields & floods,
rocks, hills & plains, repeat their sounding joy,
repeat their sounding joy, repeat, repeat their sounding joy.

3- 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, flow far as the curse is found,
as far as, far as the curse is found.

4- 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, and wonders of His love.
(And wonders, and wonders of... His... love.)

1- Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King;
let e-ver-y hear~ear~eart, prepa~are hi~im roo~o~oom,
and heaven and nature sing, a~and heaven and nature sing,
a~and heaven and he~eaven and nature sing.

2- Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns! Let all their songs employ;
while fie~ields a~and floo~o~oods,
rocks, hi~ills a~and pla~a~ins, repeat their sounding joy,
re~epeat their sounding joy, re~epeat, repe~eat their sounding joy.

3- No more let sins and sorrows grow, nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow, a~as the curse is fou~ou~ound,
flow (far) as the curse is found, flow (far) as the curse is found,
as far as, as fa~ar as the curse is found.

4- He rules the world with truth and grace and makes the nations prove;
the glories of his righteousness, and wonders of His lo~o~ove,
a~a~and wonders of His love, a~a~and wonders of His love,
a~a~and wonders, and wo~o~onders of His love.
a~a~and wonders, and wo~o~onders of His love.
(a~and wonders, and wo~o~onders... of.. His... love...)
