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.
In the little town of Bethlehem our King, Jesus the Christ, was born. He was announced by Angels to the shepherds, He was greeted by the wise men from the east. The King of the Universe, God Himself had come to Earth. Even though there was no room for him and his parents that night, this song asks you to prepare a place for him in your heart. The King desires to dwell within you.
This hymn is actually speaking of the second coming of Christ, when he comes to rule the world for one thousand years and beyond. But the truth of the hymn is that it also applies to us today. We are to be joyful to have Him as our King. He wants to be our king. He wants to bless us with His presence in our lives.
What greater Joy can man experience than the Joy of Christ as King. Joy to the world, the Lord is come.
