The good news
Joy to the world; the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare His room,
And heaven and nature sing.
Joy to the world the Saviour reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills
And plains,
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.
