Welcome to everyone from near and far tuning in to listen this Sunday morning, the fourth Sunday in Advent. We are glad you are here with us.
Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive its 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.
Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns!
Your sweetest songs employ
while fields and streams, and hills and plains,
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 glo-ries of his right-eous-ness,
and wonders of his love,
and wonders of his love,
and wonders, wonders of his love.
Words: Isaac Watts (1674-1748)
Music: George Frederic Handel (1685-1759)
