Happy New Year!
 
A short thought for the first day of 2013. I always believed until a few years ago that “Joy to the World” was a Christmas song. But now I know that it is a story of the Lord coming to earth to rule and reign over this world. Today, tomorrow and for forever.
 
JOY TO THE WORLD
(Isaac Watts, 1674 - 1748)

 

 

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.

 

Joy to the world! 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, repeat the sounding joy.

 

 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 makes the nations prove The glories of his righteousness,

And wonders of his love, And wonders of his love,

And wonders, wonders of his love.

 

Amen.
