“Joy to the World” is a popular Christmas carol written by Isaac Watts in 1719. The lyrics are based on Psalm 98, celebrating the coming of Christ and the joy and peace his arrival brings to the world. The hymn was originally written as a hymn of praise, not specifically for Christmas, but it became closely associated with the holiday over time.
The music most commonly used for “Joy to the World” was arranged by Lowell Mason in 1839, drawing inspiration from the works of George Frideric Handel. Known for its uplifting and jubilant tone, the song is a staple of Christmas celebrations worldwide.
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;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
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.
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.
