- Joy to the World! While Isaac Watts did not write this text strictly for Christmas use, he did purposely cast his paraphrase of
Psalm 98:4-9 in Christian terms, titling it “The Messiah’s coming and kingdom.” So “the Lord” here is Jesus
Christ, rather than the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
TEXT: Isaac Watts, 1719, alt.
MUSIC: Attr. George Frederick Handel, 1742; arr. Lowell Mason, 1836
1 Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
let ev’ry heart prepare him room
and heav’n and nature sing,
and heav’n and nature sing,
and heav’n, and heav’n and nature sing.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
Great job!!!🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching!
What is your name? When I follow the links it seems to be Michael.
Michael: this is quite wonderful. There are a trio of singers where I live, in Northern Ireland, called The Three Priests who I once heard singing Joy To The World unaccompanied on radio. I have never been able to hear to them singing it again. Every other rendition is accompanied by syruppy instrumental that detracts from the impact of the voices and the harmonies.
What a clever thing to do to sing them separately, then weave them together. I saw this after seeing you doing the same for Holy, Holy, Holy, a hymn whose bass and tenor parts I have known since school, and which are better than the main tune.

Thanks for your comment, Ben! Yes, my name is Michael. I’m glad that you’ve enjoyed the music! I originally started making these as teaching videos, but have started doing them simply because I enjoy them! God bless you over there in Ireland!
I love it.
