曲谱简介：

Joy to the World is a popular Christmas carol The words are by English hymn writer Isaac Watts, based on the second half of Psalm 98 in the Bible. The song was first published in 1719 in Watts collection; The Psalms of David: Imitated in the language of the New Testament, and applied to the Christian state and worship. Watts wrote the words of Joy to the World as a hymn glorifying Christs triumphant return at the end of the age, rather than a song celebrating his first coming.[2] The nations are called to celebrate because Gods faithfulness to the house of Israel has brought salvation to the world.[3]
