joy

I'm doing some cleaning and such today and came across this old bookmark I made a few years ago. On it, I wrote these familiar lines:

joy to the world!
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

Sometimes it's fun to read through old hymns with a whole new understanding of what it means... instead of brushing over the words with a faint glance of familiarity.

{the bookmark is ugly though, so I'm throwing it away}
