“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 earth, 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!“No more let sins and sorrows grow,Nor thorns infest the ground;He comes to make his blessings flowFar as the curse is found! Far as the curse is found!Far as . . . far as . . . the curse is found!“He rules the world with truth and graceAnd makes the nations proveThe glories of his righteousnessAnd wonders of his love! And wonders of his love!And wonders . . . wonders . . . of his love!” (Isaac Watts, 1719)https://banneroftruth.org/us/about/banner-authors/isaac-watts/
