Joy to the World

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.

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, and wonders of his love.”

Joy to the world! This beautiful Christmas song written by Isaac Watts in the 1800’s, rings out with happiness and excitement! Instead of being a slow carol, this song is written to be song with true joy at our Savior Jesus Christ’s birth.

Do you know the tune? Why don’t you sing it with me right now!

Wow! That was fun! Did you sing it from your very being? What a good thing it is to sing God’s praises!

Prayer: Loving God, Creator of the universe and creator of Jesus Christ our Savior, we worship you and pray for your truth and grace for all. Help us to sing, all of heaven and earth to sing your praises.

Though for the Day: Help the nations to prove the glories of your righteousness.
