Joy To The World


 

Joy to the World

Joy to the world!
Joy to the world! Oh, woah
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!
Joy to the world! Oh
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, repeat the sounding joy
Joy to the world then we sing
Let the earth receive her King!
Joy to the world then we sing
Let the angel voices ring
Joy to the world then we sing
Let the men their songs employ
Joy to the world then we sing
And repeat the sounding joy
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove (And makes the nations prove)
And glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love
Joy to the world then we sing
Let the earth receive her King!
Joy to the world then we sing
Let the angel voices ring

If this world needs anything right now, one thing is Joy. We have experienced some crazy things the past couple of years and it goes on with the economy and school shootings, and seemingly no insight of anything better to come. But God's gift to us was sent to us from heaven in the baby Jesus that grew up to die for us. When all else fails, He is our Hope. And He is our Joy.
And thanks to people like Isaac Watts that remind us of that as we sing this carol every year at this time. 
Thanks for coming by today, Friends.
God bless you with His Joy this season.
