These old Christmas songs have become very much a part of our culture during this time of year, being played on the radio and in department stores every year from November to January. They may have become so familiar to us that may no longer recognize the significance of the lyrics.
"Joy to the World" is the good news that Jesus Christ came to claim His Kingdom and restore the earth back from the curse of sin - and heaven, nature, and men, all sing and rejoice at this Good News! Merry Christmas and enjoy these great songs of the faith at this most wonderful time of the year!
Let Earth receive her King;
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room,
And Heav'n and nature sing.
2. Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns,
Let men their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy.
3. 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.
4. He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness,
And wonders of his love.
