[D]Joy to the world! The [Em]Lord is [D]come!
Let [G]earth re[A]ceive her [D]King!
Let [D]every heart prepare Him room,||
And [D]heav’n and nature sing,
And [A]heav’n and nature sing,
And [D]heav’n and heav’n and [Em]na[A]ture [D]sing!

Strophe 2
[D]Joy to the world! the [Em]Savior [D]reigns;
Let [G]men their [A]songs em[D]ploy;
While [D]field and floods, rocks, hills, and plains.||
Re[D]peat the sounding joy,
Re[A]peat the sounding joy,
Re[D]peat, repeat the [Em]soun[A]ding [D]joy.

Strophe 3
[D]He rules the world with [Em]truth and [D]grace
And [G]makes the [A]nations [D]prove
The [D]glories of His righteousness,||
And [D]wonders of His love,
And [A]wonders of His love,
And [D]wonders, wonders [Em]of [A]His [D]love.
