merry presents, y'all

The Christmas Carol 'Joy to the World' has the following line:
"while fields and floods/rocks, hills and plains/repeat the sounding joy..."
I'm sorry God, but that seems a little excessive. Maybe even a little cruel. How long are these inanimate objects proclaiming the birth of a saviour? how do you get them to stop? Especially with the floods. If my house is underwater, having a swollen river tell me to rejoice is just mean. The least that damn thing could do is throw in an apology.
'Rejoice, be glad, sorry I ruined your life and all your earthly possessions'
