 JOY TO THE WORLD (SONGS OF THE SEASON)

Joy to the world, the Lord is come 
 Let earth receive her King 
 Let every 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 

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 

Lyrics:  Isaac Waats 
 Musical Arrangement:  arranged by Lowell Mason with melody from George Frederick Handel (“Antioch”)
