Joy To the World

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; 

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. 

Go, Tell It on the Mountains

Go, tell it on the mountains, 

Over the hills and everywhere; 

Go, tell it on the mountains 

That Jesus Christ is born! 

While shepherds kept their watching 

O'er silent flocks by night, 

Behold throughout the heavens 

There shone a holy light. 

Go, tell it on the mountains, 

Over the hills and everywhere; 

Go, tell it on the mountains 

That Jesus Christ is born! 

The shepherds feared and trembled 

When lo! Above the earth 

Rang out the angel chorus 

That hailed our Savior's birth. 

Go, tell it on the mountains, 

Over the hills and everywhere; 

Go, tell it on the mountains 

That Jesus Christ is born! 

Down in a lowly manger 

The humble Christ was born, 

And brought us God's salvation 

That blessed Christmas morn. 

Go, tell it on the mountains, 

Over the hills and everywhere; 

Go, tell it on the mountains 

That Jesus Christ is born!
