Handel {1685 - 1759}Issac Watts {1674 - 1748} Liona BoydCraig Rogers {Tellurian}craigrogers706@hotmail.com JOY TO THE WORLD Isaac Watts 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 all their songs employ; While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy. No more let sins and sorrows grow, Nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found, Far as the curse is found, Far as, far as, the curse is found. 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. This Christmas hymn by Issac Watts dates from the early eighteenth century, and was probably inspired by Psalm 98 in which all nature is commanded to make a joyful noise unto the Lord. The music from the early american composer Lowell Mason, has been adapted by from the recitative, "comfort ye my people" and the chorus "Lift up your heads," parts of George F. Handel's "Messiah."CGuitarNylon String Acoustic Guitarh@Standard@;72-& CFloatingTextLyrics#Times New RomanSee Performance Notes u$Times New RomanDADGBE7dTimes New Roman CGuitarIn CTempoMarker Maestoso  CSection2 $AVerse CDirectionCStaff09  CPosition CLineData 'G (G 'G%#"#! ` ` `  ` b@bd CMusicBarSS 24 09 GG  I  I ( 'GG I'(' I'@'AG@! e  gg@SSS 2 09 'G (G ' ( 'G  'G (G'%#!`  ` ``!SSS 2 '9 #B# B#B#   B # B BB# B" BB" B" BB B!" % ` SSS 2  09#Bd 'G` @ #d D BDB#B #B@"@ "@##d#Bd #Bd#Bd "   !S SS 2  BVerse - Variation09  'G (G 'G#D#B"#!```` `   ` b@dSSS 2 y30 GG  I  I ( 'GG I'(' IG@ @'@ E@'@! e   g g ``SSS 2 T09 'G (G 'G ( 'G  'G (G'G%#!#```   ` ````` ` `"`SSS 2n &'9#### % '% #"""" #BbB bb B!" %```   `  `bbbSSS 2@   09#Bd 'G @ #d D BDDB#B #BB@"@ "@##d#Bd #Bd#Bd` SSS 2+   '9 #dDBD  B # B B@" @#dB d#Bd#Bd  SSSUntitled!h@Bass+&! 2 } ArialTimes New RomanTimes New Roman
