Joy to the World - The Petersens (LIVE)

I think we can all agree the world needs a whole lot of joy right now! Hope "Joy to the World" brings a smile to your face and reminds you:
Joy to the world! The Lord has come
Let earth receive her King!
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing.

►LYRICS - Joy to the World
Joy to the world, the Lord has 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 nature sing
(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 the sounding joy
(Repeat the sounding joy)
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

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 of His love
(Wonders of His love)
And wonders, wonders of His love
