JOY TO THE WORLD - by Isaac Watts, 1719 - Public Domain
Joy to the world! The Lord is come; Let earth receive her King. Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room, And heav'n and nature sing. Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns; Let men their songs employ; While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains 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.
He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness, And wonders of His love.

Benediction
I pray the Lord that He will lead your path Away from the temptations all around. I pray that when temptation lingers near, The Lord will lead you not into its reach. But if temptation grabs you as you pass, I pray the Lord that you will struggle free. In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.
Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord.
