Joy to the world! the children come.
Let earth receive their grace!
Let ev’ry heart prepare them room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing.
Joy to the world! the children reign.
Let we our songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy.
To rule the world with truth and grace
And make the nations prove
The glories of their righteousness
And wonders of their love
And wonders of their love
And wonders, wonders of their love.
