Joy to the World!


In these uncertain times, there is Good News that brings hope to all who seek Him. Beautiful words of Christmas and after Jesus’ Second Coming; by Isaac Watts, 1719, and George Fredrick Handel, 1742.

“ Joy To The World The Lord Is Come”

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 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 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, makes 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! Rae
Piepho, Lutsen
