"Joy to the World"
Text: Isaac Watts,
Music: George Frederick Handel

An arrangement for organ or keyboard.

(This arrangement was influenced in part,
by an arrangement of this beloved Christmas carol by Bert Buhrman.
Mr. Buhrman was a family friend and organist at the School of the Ozarks, Point Lookout, Missouri.)

Bethlehem...,out of you will come for Me
One who will be ruler over Israel."

Micah, 5:2.



VERSE 1

Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let ev-ry' heart prepare Him room,
And heav'n and nature sing,
And heav'n and nature sing,
And heav'n, and heav'n and nature sing.

VERSE 2

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, repeat the sounding joy,

VERSE 3

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.
