Hymn 10
C.M.
1. Joy to the world! the Lord will come!
And earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare him room,
And saints and angels sing.

2. Rejoice! rejoice! when Jesus reigns,
And saints their songs employ:
While fields, and floods, rocks, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy.

3. No more will sin and sorrow grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He'll come and make the blessing flow,
Far as the curse was found.

4. Rejoice! rejoice! in the Most High,
While Israel spread abroad,
Like stars that glitter in the sky,
And ever worship God.
