Joy to the World - The Petersens (LIVE)

I think we can all agree the world needs a whole lot of joy right now! Hope "Joy to the World" brings a smile to your face and reminds you:

Joy to the world! The Lord has come
Let earth receive her King!
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing.

Enjoy a guest appearance by our videographer, Aaron Clark!

►LYRICS - Joy to the World
Joy to the world, the Lord has 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 nature sing
(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 the sounding joy
(Repeat the sounding joy)
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

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 of His love
(Wonders of His love)
And wonders, wonders of His love

A better Joy to the World I have not heard. Just outstanding.

[mauroramos]

Listen Petersens all nite it's like the world have no problems. Thanx from Ji-Paraná-Rondônia/Brazil

[joshsa]

Love the fact that the closed captions capitilize "His" when referring to God. You can see this band's love and respect for God in so many different ways. Can't believe I only found this channel 2 days ago. Been watching video after video ever since.

[HRU]

Thanks to the Petersens for the JOY they bring.

[MK-niel]

So amazing and uplifting! I love this family!

[ComedyBros]

I'm amazed by how incredibly talented and attractive this whole family is. My 4 brothers and I look like potatoes, and can't carry a tune to save our lives!

[gregorytaylor]

Iv'e probably watched this 600, 000 times myself i love it

[MyShanghaiShuffle]

Brilliant, songs like this are so much better when you know that those performing really believe the words!

[stonecutter]

Listening to this in 2022 for the joy and absolute fire of these musicians celebrating that the Lord has come!

[Lobocharlie]

All hits and no misses. Wonderful, each and every number.

[imtherealone.]

I really love the harmonies on this one. Julianne and Katie sound really pretty.

[btscpi]

Thanks for bringing joy to France too. Love from France.♥♥♥

[AnthonySettergren]

JOY came to the earth when the Savior was born! The Petersens bring JOY to those that see and hear them. Thanks for faithfully proclaiming the good news!

[vincentpuentes]

You guy’s saved 2020 for 405, 000 + people, what would we have done without Y’all, , MERRY CHRISTMAS and may GOD’S Peace be with You

[CN_Corbeau]

Wow!!! Emmet absolutely popped off in the beginning, everyone did such a terrific job and these Christmas covers never fail to impress!

Their smiles and happiness are infectious.
