Christmas Hymn, Part 3

I am Continuing to give good Christmas hymns to sing for the Season. I have opted to give one that everyone is familiar with. Many of the traditional Christmas hymns contain rather ambiguious or even weak theological statements, but Joy to the World! The Lord is Come, does not!

Hymn: Joy to the World! The Lord is Come- Isaac Watts (1719)

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 Heav'n, and heav'n and nature sing.

Joy to the earth the Savior reigns; Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains, repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

No more let sin 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 makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness, And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love, and Wonders, wonders of His love.

Merry Christmas everyone, from David and Krista Dunham!
