by
Isaac Watts (1674 - 1748)
Joy to the world!
Language: English
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.
Joy to the world the savior reigns,
Let men their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy.
He rules the world with truth and grace.
And makes the nations prove
The glory of his righteousness,
And wonders of his love.

Vreugde op aarde
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the English
Vreugde op aarde om de komst van de Heer
Laat de aarde haar koning ontvangen.
Laat ieder hart ruimte voor hem maken
En hemel en aarde zingen
Vreugde op aarde omdat de verlosser regeert.
Laat de mensen hun liederen zingen,
terwijl velden en stromen, bergen en dalen
het blije geluid herhalen.
Hij regeert de wereld met waarheid en genade
en laat de naties de glorie van
zijn rechtschapenheid blijken
en de wonderen van zijn liefde.
