Deck the Hall/Joy to the World (duet with Johnny Mathis) Songtext
von Nat King Cole

Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
′Tis the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don, we now our gay apparel
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Troll the ancient yuletide carol
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Fast away the old year passes
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Hail the new year, lads and lasses
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Sing we joyous, all together
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Heedless of the wind and weather
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la


See the blazing Yule before us
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Strike the harp and join the chorus
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Follow me in merry measure
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
While I tell of Yule-tide treasure
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Joy to the world, joy to the world, joy to the world
Joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy
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 world, the saviour reigns
Let men their songs employ (let men their songs employ)
While fields and floods
Rocks hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy (repeat the soudning 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 and wonders of his love
