VocalEssence Chorus, Singers of the Age, Casey Rafn, piano

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and heaven and nature sing!

No more let hate and violence grow,
Nor color make us bound;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as all pain is found,
Far as all pain is found,
Far as, far as all pain is found.

He gives the world both truth and grace,
And asks his children prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders of His love.
—Isaac Watts, adapted by Gerald Gurss
