Hymn Stories: Joy to the World

May 28, 2021

This is the fourth episode of the month, which means we will be looking at a story of a great song or hymn of the Christian faith. We will look at the people who wrote these beautiful hymns, we will read the lyrics, and I’ll provide a link below to click where you can listen to the hymns we talk about.

Scripture references:

Psalm 98

Genesis 3:17-19

Romans 5:20

This time we are talking about the hymn "Joy to the World" by Isaac Watts, arranged first by George Frederic Handel , then by Lowell Mason.

You can listen the the tune, read the lyrics, and more at the Hymnology Archive site.

Here is a link on YouTube to listen to Joy to the World by Anthem Lights rendition of this hymn.

I referenced the book, "Then Sings My Soul, Book 2" by Robert J. Morgan. {This is an affiliate link, which means if you purchase the book through this link, I will get a small compensation at no extra cost to you.}
