HYMN: “Joy to the world”
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 earth re-songs employ. White 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 in fest the ground. He comes to make his blessings flow, far 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 grace. And makes the nations prove. The glories of His righteousness, and wonders of His love, and wonders of His love, and wonders, wonders, of His love
