joy to the world / the king is coming

joy to the world

the lord is come

let earth receive her king

let ev'ry heart prepare him room

and heaven and nature sing

and heaven and nature sing

and heaven and heaven and nature sing

joy to the world

the savior reigns

let men their songs employ

while fields and floods

rocks

hills

and plains

repeat the sounding joy

repeat the sounding joy

repeat

repeat the sounding joy

no more

let sin and sorrows grow

nor thorns infest the ground

he comes to make his blessings flow

far as the curse is found

he rules the world with truth and grace

and makes the nations prove

the glories of his righteousness

and the wonders of his love

and wonders of his love

and wonder

wonders of his love

and the king is coming

open up your eyes to see it

open up your ears to hear it

the king is coming

open up your minds

believe it

open up your heart

receive him
