Title: Joy To The World
Series: Christmas Classics

Speaker: Tim Jones
It is for sure not Christmas until this song is sung, it is for sure a Christmas Classic. Many don’t realize that it is based on Psalm 98 and Watt wrote this into a hymn to have us look forward to Christ’s second coming. Some words have been changed and we sing this song now to celebrate Christ’s first coming. I just wonder how loud it will be when “all the Earth sings out, all the rivers and hills, Joy has come to the world.
TJ,
It looks like Julie Andrews dancing across the mountains…. The hills are alive with the sound of musicccccc…. hahah
