George Frideric Handel
Joy to the World / Joy of the Lord
Verse 1
Joy to the world
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
Chorus
The joy, the joy
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy, the joy
The joy of the Lord is my strength
Oh He is my hope
The joy, the joy
The joy of the Lord is my strength
Verse 2
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
Verse 3
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 of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love

Oh oh oh
More than a feeling burning in my soul
I’ve got His joy and it won’t let me go
Oh oh oh
It’s like a fire shut up in my bones
Not just a feeling it's a living hope
The world can’t take it away
