Joy To The World

(album: First Christmas - 1993)

Now when Jesus was born
In Bethlehem of Judaea
In the days of Herod the king
Behold there came wise men
From the east to Jerusalem
Saying, "where is He
That is born King of the Jews?"
For we have seen His star in the east
And have come to worship
And now that's why we sing
"Joy to the World"

Joy to the world
The Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart
Prepare Him room
Let Heaven and Nature sing
Let Heaven and Nature sing
Let Heaven and Nature sing

Sing!
Oh, sing

Now 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 of His love, yeah

Joy to the world
The Savior reigns
(Yes, He does)
Let us our songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy

Joy!
Joy to the world
Joy, joy, joy
So much joy
Joy to rich man
Joy to the poor man
Joy to the man who walks the street, now
(Joy!)
That's the reason He came
Joy to you, joy to me
(Joy to the whole wide world)
You and me
Everybody
Joy to the world
The King is born

Joy!
Sing!
Joy to the world, yeah, yeah
So much joy
(Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing)
So much joy, yeah
Yeah, yeah
(Sing)
Joy to everybody, joy
Yes, He, is, yes, He is
Yeah, yeah, joy

(Joy!)
So much joy, oh, yeah, yeah
(Joy, joy, yeah)
So much joy
Deep down in my heart
Joy to the world
Joy, let's spread some love and joy, yeah
Every day, every night
Spread some peace and love
Spread some peace and love, yeah...
