Words by Isaac Watts
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 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 (wonders of his love)
And wonders of his love (wonders of his love)
And wonders, wonders of his love
And wonders, wonders of his love
And wonders, wonders of his love
Joy to the world
The wonders of your love
The wonders of your love!
Joy to the World is Isaac Watts interpretation of Psalm 98 and celebrates Christ’s second coming as well as His birth.
The Messiah’s Coming and Kingdom
4 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth,
burst into jubilant song with music;
5 make music to the Lord with the harp,
with the harp and the sound of singing,
6 with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn—
shout for joy before the Lord, the King.
7 Let the sea resound, and everything in it,
Psalm 98: 4-9
the world, and all who live in it.
8 Let the rivers clap their hands,
let the mountains sing together for joy;
9 let them sing before the Lord,
for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
and the peoples with equity.

The pictures are beautiful! And that is one of my favorite songs – but I think it should be sung year round and not just at Christmas!

Thank you! Good to hear from you! I agree the song has the year-long appeal of celebrating the joy of Christ’s second coming as well as His birth. Plus, it is good to always a good time to praise the Lord, including shouts of joy. Plus, it is good to always a good time to praise the Lord, including shouts of joy.🌟🌺
