Joy To The World

Words & Music:

Issac Watts & Lowell Mason (1839)

 

D                 Em  D    A7 D          G         A           D

Joy to the world! The Lord is come!  Let earth receive her King!

D   G     D     D       G   D

Let every heart prepare Him room,

    D                           A              A7

And heav'n and nature sing, and heav'n and nature sing,

D   G          D      Em  D A7   D

And heav'n and heav'n and nature sing!

 

Joy to the world!  The Savior reigns!  Let men their songs employ!

While field 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.
