Each podcast in the Songs Of The Season series will feature a Christmas hymn. Join me all month long as we dive into the background, context, and timeless truths of these beloved carols.
JOY TO THE WORLD (SONGS OF THE SEASON)
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 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
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
Lyrics: Isaac Waats
Musical Arrangement: arranged by Lowell Mason with melody from George Frederick Handel (“Antioch”)
