Congregational Christmas Hymn Singing "Joy To The World"

The last part of congregational Christmas hymn singing as we sing "Joy To The World." A very timely Christmas hymn about the first coming of our Savior Jesus Christ. Let all celebrate this season in one accord singing praises and giving thanks to our God and Savior Jesus Christ. A special Merry Christmas to y'all.

Joy To The World

Words: Isaac Watts, The Psalms of Da­vid, 1719.

Music: An­ti­och, ar­ranged by Low­ell Ma­son, 1836 (MI­DI, score):

The tune is the piec­ing to­ge­ther of themes in Han­dels Mes­si­ah found in the chor­us and in the in­stru­ment­al int­er­ludes in Lift up your heads and the in­tro­duct­ion and in­ter­ludes of the re­ci­ta­tive Com­fort ye. John Wil­son in Han­del and the Hymn Tune: II, Some Hymn Tune Ar­range­ments, in the Jan­u­ary 1986 vol­ume of The Hymn has traced the tunes or­i­gins to A Col­lect­ion of Tunes, ed. T. Hawkes, 1833, and Voce de Mel­o­dia, ed. W[illiam] Hol­ford, ca. 1835. It was pop­u­lar­ized in the USA by Low­ell Ma­son who in­cluded our ver­sion in Oc­ca­sion­al Psalm and Hymn Tunes, 1836, and for no stat­ed rea­son named it AN­TI­OCH (see Henry L. Ma­son, Hymn-Tunes of Lo­well Ma­son, 1944).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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.

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.

The leader's singing gave me a headache , he needs to tone down a lot , and not shout .
