Joy to the World (Canaan Melodies #25)

The first Christmas hymn in the Nazarene "Canaan Melodies" hymnal! This Isaac Watts classic reminds us that the Saviour who came now reigns, and makes his blessings and love flow.

1. Joy to the world! The Lord is come, let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room; and heav’n and nature sing,
And heav’n and nature sing, and heav’n and heav’n and nature sing. 

2. Joy to the world! The Saviour 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

3. No more let sins and sorrows grow, nor thorns infest 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

4. 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
