  HYMN 15. C. M.
 
1 Joy to the world! the Lord will come!
  And earth receive her King;
  Let ev'ry heart prepare him room,
  And saints and angels sing.
 
2 Rejoice! rejoice! when Jesus reigns!
  And saints their songs employ:
  While fields and floods, rocks, hills and
  plains,
  Repeat the sounding joy.
 
3 No more will sins and sorrows grow,
  Nor thorns infest the ground;
  He'll come and make the blessings flow
  Far as the curse was found.
 
4 Rejoice! rejoice! in the Most High,
  While Israel spread abroad,
  Like stars that glitter in the sky,
  And ever worship God.
