213. C. M. Watts. The Kingdom of Christ. 1 Joy to the world! the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare him room, And heaven and nature sing! 2 Joy to the earth! the Saviour reigns! Let men their songs employ; While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy. 3 No more let sins and sorrows grow, Nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make his blessings flow As far as sin is found. 4 He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove The glories of his righteousness, And wonders of his love.
