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

(Heaven and nature sing).

 

Doo Wop Shoo Be Do Wop.

Doo Wop Shoo Be Do Wop.

(Doo Wop Shoo Be Do Wop.)

 

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.

 

He rules the world with truth and grace,

And he makes he makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness,

And wonders of His love,

The wonders of His love,

The wonders, the wonders, of His love.
