Joy To The World


This inspiring carol was written by Isaac Watts, the founder of English hymn writing.  It was first published in 1719 and is based on Psalm 98, 96:11-12 and Genesis 3:17-18, in the Bible.  The music is usually attributed to George Frederick Handel, but there are some other theories for the composer.
