Joy to The world! the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart, prepare him room

And heaven and nature sing

Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make his blessings flow

Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.

And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness

And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonder, wonders of His love
