Let earth receive her King
Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing

Joy to the world the Savior reigns
Let all their songs employ
While fields and floods rocks hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat repeat the sounding joy

An overflowing well
No tongue can tell
Joy unspeakable joy
It rises in my soul
Never lets me go

And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders wonders of His love

Verse 1
Come Thou long expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free
From our fears and sins release us
Let us find our rest in Thee
Israel’s strength and consolation
Hope of all the earth Thou art
Dear desire of every nation
Joy of every longing heart

Born Thy people to deliver
Born a child and yet a King
Born to reign in us forever
Now Thy gracious Kingdom bring
By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone

Verse 1
Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes
I love Thee Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh

Chorus
It’s Christmas! The angels are singing
And I know the reason, the Savior is born
It’s Christmas! The bells are ringing
And I feel like shouting, Joy to the world

Verse 3
Be near me, Lord Jesus I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And fit us for heaven to live with thee there

Bridge
Go tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born

Joy to the world! Joy to the world!
