Joy to the World (Tillotson)

Christ the Sav­ior is here

Let the world with wel­come ring;

Praises sound far and near

For the ad­vent of the King.

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 Heav­en

and Heav­en

and na­ture sing.

Christ the Shep­herd of souls

Our Re­deem­er and our Lord

Heav’n its mon­arch ex­tols

And pro­claims His birth abroad.

Christ

ex­alt­ed ab­ove

Now be­gins His glo­ri­ous reign.

Every heart is His throne

And the earth is His do­main.
