Lyrics

Verse One 
Joy to the world, the Lord has come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart, prepare Him room
And heav'n and nature sing, and heav'n and nature sing
And heav'n and heav'n and nature sing

Chorus
Great joy, great joy, great joy, great joy
Great joy, great joy,
I bring you good news that will be great joy
I bring you good news that will be great joy 

Verse Two
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

Verse Three
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
