Joy to the world! The Lord has come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let ev’ry 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 world! The Savior reigns!
let men their songs emply;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the 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 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.

This is definitely a nice song. I hope the world really receives the King with open arms so it is not only our houses that will be filled with the message of the song but our hearts as well. Besides He is the real reason why we are celebrating Christmas. Happy Holidays everyone!
That joy is really the very best thing about Christmas, isn’t it? The very best : ) Wishing you a beautiful new year.
