Joy to <strong>the</strong> Word,<br />
<strong>the</strong> Lord <strong>is</strong> come!<br />
As <strong>the</strong> favorite Chr<strong>is</strong>tmas hymn written by Isaac Watts says, Joy<br />
to <strong>the</strong> World, <strong>the</strong> Lord <strong>is</strong> come! For 70 years, <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> Bapt<strong>is</strong>t<br />
has had a grand tradition of celebrating Chr<strong>is</strong>tmas. We decorate<br />
our campus, host Chr<strong>is</strong>tmas events for <strong>the</strong> community, offer magnificent<br />
music and teaching and serve o<strong>the</strong>rs in need. All of <strong>the</strong>se<br />
things are wonderful. Yet, in th<strong>is</strong> season of our Lord’s birth, take<br />
time to be joyful and rekindle your love for Him. Thank God for<br />
<strong>the</strong> many blessings that you have and for sending H<strong>is</strong> son to save<br />
our sins. Refocus on Him and prepare your soul to meet Him during<br />
th<strong>is</strong> season. The wonders of h<strong>is</strong> love will astound you!<br />
Joy to <strong>the</strong> World, <strong>the</strong> Lord <strong>is</strong> come!<br />
Let earth receive her King;<br />
Let every heart prepare Him room,<br />
And Heaven and nature sing,<br />
And Heaven and nature sing,<br />
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.<br />
Joy to <strong>the</strong> World, <strong>the</strong> Savior reigns!<br />
Let men <strong>the</strong>ir songs employ;<br />
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains<br />
Repeat <strong>the</strong> sounding joy,<br />
Repeat <strong>the</strong> sounding joy,<br />
Repeat, repeat, <strong>the</strong> sounding joy.<br />
No more let sins and sorrows grow,<br />
Nor thorns infest <strong>the</strong> ground;<br />
He comes to make H<strong>is</strong> blessings flow<br />
Far as <strong>the</strong> curse <strong>is</strong> found,<br />
Far as <strong>the</strong> curse <strong>is</strong> found,<br />
Far as, far as, <strong>the</strong> curse <strong>is</strong> found.<br />
He rules <strong>the</strong> world with truth and grace,<br />
And makes <strong>the</strong> nations prove<br />
The glories of H<strong>is</strong> righteousness,<br />
And wonders of H<strong>is</strong> love,<br />
And wonders of H<strong>is</strong> love,<br />
And wonders, wonders, of H<strong>is</strong> love.<br />
