Joy to the World er en gammel julesang fra 1719 da teksten første gang blev publiceret. Teksten er skrevet af en engelsk salmedigter Issac Watts. I 1839 komponerede Lowell Mason musik til sangen der dog igen læner sig tung op af Händels Oratorium Messias.

Joy to the World

Joy to the world, the Lord has 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
And wonders, wonders, of His love
