Joy To The World


By Issac Watts:
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

Joy to the world the Savior reigns, let men their songs employ
White fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat their sounding joy, repeat their sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

No more let sins and sorrows grow, nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found, far as the curse is found
Far as, far as the curse is found

He rules the world with truth and grace
And make the nations prove, the glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His Love, and wonders of His Love
And wonders, and wonders of His Love

This profound Christmas song encapsulates what Christmas is all about.
There is great joy among those who believe;
The Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah, The Anointed One,
The Savior of the world has come.
We have prepared room for Him in our hearts; He is our Heart.
Can you hear the sound of Heaven and nature
Singing the praises of the King; singing in adoration of their King;
They wait in earnest expectation for the reveling of the Sons of God.

We have great joy because our Savior reigns.
All authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to Him.
We who love Him praise Him continually in song.
Every part of nature exults over this reality; repeating the sounding joy,
As do we who have received Him.

We live in His Kingdom, where sins and sorrows no longer grow;
Thorns no longer infest our ground.
Christ Jesus makes His blessings flow in our lives,
No matter where we live;
And wherever we live the curse is found in this world ruled by Satan;
But the curse cannot touch Christ in us.

In our world, the Kingdom of God, Christ rules.
For we are not of this world but of Christ.
Soon, He will come again and reclaim the earth He created;
He will do away with the kingdom of this world by His Infinite Power.
Every nation that has rejected Him will be proven guilty of their sin.
The Glory of Christ Jesus will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea
For the thousand years of the Millennium
And then He will create be a New Heaven and a New Earth.

The wonder of His Love will be realized by all who belong to Him
All who have waited in earnest expectation of His coming.
Those who Overcome this world by the Blood of the Lamb
And the word of their testimony,
Will experience the fullness of His Infinite Love, FOREVER! Hallelujah!
