JOY TO THE WORLD

VERSE 1: VERSE 3:
JOY TO THE WORLD, THE LORD IS COME! NO MORE LET SINS AND SORROWS GROW,
LET EARTH RECEIVE HER KING; NOR THORNS INFEST THE GROUND;
LET EVERY HEART PREPARE HIM ROOM, HE COMES TO MAKE HIS BLESSINGS FLOW
AND HEAV’N AND NATURE SING, FAR AS THE CURSE IS FOUND,
AND HEAV’N AND NATURE SING, FAR AS THE CURSE IS FOUND,
AND HEAV’N, AND HEAV’N, AND NATURE SING. FAR AS, FAR AS, THE CURSE IS FOUND.

VERSE 2: VERSE 4:
JOY TO THE EARTH, THE SAVIOR REIGNS! HE RULES THE WORLD WITH TRUTH AND GRACE,
LET MEN THEIR SONGS EMPLOY; AND MAKES THE NATIONS PROVE
WHILE FIELDS AND FLOODS, ROCKS, HILLS, AND PLAINS THE GLORIES OF HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS,
REPEAT THE SOUNDING JOY, AND WONDERS OF HIS LOVE,
REPEAT THE SOUNDING JOY, AND WONDERS OF HIS LOVE,
REPEAT, REPEAT, THE SOUNDING JOY. AND WONDERS, WONDERS, OF HIS LOVE.

IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR

VERSE 1: VERSE 3:
IT CAME UPON THE MIDNIGHT CLEAR, YET WITH THE WOES OF SIN AND STRIFE
THAT GLORIOUS SONG OF OLD, THE WORLD HAS SUFFERED LONG;
FROM ANGELS BENDING NEAR THE EARTH, BENEATH THE ANGEL STRAIN HAVE ROLLED
TO TOUCH THEIR HARPS OF GOLD; TWO THOUSAND YEARS OF WRONG;
“PEACE ON THE EARTH, GOOD WILL TO MEN, AND MAN, AT WAR WITH MAN, HEARS NOT
FROM HEAV’N’S ALL-GRACIOUS KING.” THE LOVE-SONG WHICH THEY BRING;
THE WORLD IN SOLEMN STILLNESS LAY, OH, HUSH THE NOISE, YE MEN OF STRIFE
TO HEAR THE ANGELS SING. AND HEAR THE ANGELS SING.

VERSE 2: VERSE 4:
STILL THROUGH THE CLOVEN SKIES THEY COME FOR LO! THE DAYS ARE HAST’NING ON,
WITH PEACEFUL WINGS UNFURLED, BY PROPHET SEEN OF OLD,
AND STILL THEIR HEAV’NLY MUSIC FLOATS WHEN WITH THE EVER-CIRCLING YEARS
O’ER ALL THE WEARY WORLD; SHALL COME THE TIME FORETOLD
ABOVE ITS SAD AND LOWLY PLAINS, WHEN CHRIST SHALL COME AND ALL SHALL OWN
THEY BEND ON HOV’RING WING, THE PRINCE OF PEACE, THEIR KING,
AND EVER O’ER ITS BABEL SOUNDS AND SAINTS SHALL MEET HIM IN THE AIR,
THE BLESSED ANGELS SING. AND WITH THE ANGELS SING.
