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.

Welcome our King who brings us life.
Our Lady gives him birth!
His living light returneth to warm the seeds within us
And wake the sleeping earth,
And wake the sleeping earth,
And wake and wake the sleeping earth.

Light we the fires to greet our Lord,
Our Light! Our Life! Our King!
Let every voice be lifted to sing his holy praises,
And Heaven and Nature sing,
And Heaven and Nature sing,
And Heaven and Heaven and Nature sing.

Let every voice, join in the life’s song!
And merry turns the wheel, and merry turns the wheel,
And merry, and merry turns the wheel!

Joy to the World, the Sun returns
Let all who live rejoice!
Let every heart, receive the light
And every voice be heard
And every voice be heard
And every voice in song be heard.

Let Earth receive its King!
In every house,
let all awake to hear
the sky and nature sing
the sky and nature sing,
the sky, the sky and nature sing!
