Joy To The World

Joy to the world, the Lord is come! One of the most popular, well-known Christmas songs we know. People across the world know the words to this song, and yet, as Terry dives into a deeper look at this hymn, is this entirely about Christmas, the birth of Jesus, and a manger? Listen as we discover there is much more that Isaac Watts was writing about than just a catchy tune and some easy-to-memorize lyrics. Even the melody was different when he wrote this song! Repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy, repeat, repeat the sounding joy!
