Text

Joy to the Word (1:31)
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.


Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, 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,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, 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,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.

Parodien

Wie viele populäre Lieder und Gedichte erfuhr auch Joy to the World zahlreiche mehr oder weniger originelle Neuinterpretationen.

Death to the World

Die Variante der H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society.

Death to the world! Cthulhu's come
Let Earth abhor this thing
Let every mind prepare for doom
As anguish and woe he'll bring
Up from the sea, R'lyeh did rise
The cultists awestruck dumb
With ancient rites so wretched and perverse
Cthulhu's time has come
Death to the world! Cthulhu reigns
The Great Old Ones Destroy
With wrath and doom, so cruel and foul
Replete with obscene joy
He rules the Earth with dreadful might
And through our ghastly dreams
His twisting turning tentacles
Elicit from us maddened screams
Cthulhu's time has come

Joy to the World, our teachers dead

Die nachstehende Variante des Weihnachtsliedes ist besonders bei Schulkindern in den USA populär.

Joy to the world, the teachers dead
We barbecued the head
Dont worry about the body
We flushed it down the potty
And round and round it goes
And round and round it goes
And rou-ound and rou-ou-ound and round it goes

Gerne wird auchbarbecuedmitamputatedundteachermitprincipal“ (Direktor) ersetzt. "We flushed it down the potty" kann man mit "Wir haben ihn das Klo herunter gespült" übersetzen.
