Christ the Sav­ior is here,
Let the world with wel­come ring;
Praises sound far and near,
For the ad­vent of the King.

Refrain

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 Hea­ven, and Hea­ven, and na­ture sing.

Christ the Shep­herd of souls,
Our Re­deem­er and our Lord,
Heav’n its mon­arch ex­tols,
And pro­claims His birth abroad.

Refrain

Christ, ex­alt­ed above,
Now be­gins His glo­ri­ous reign.
Every heart is His throne,
And the earth is His do­main.
