| Added by alastair-lewis, 19 Apr 2013 The English hymn writer Isaac Watts wrote the lyrics to "Joy to the World". He based them on Psalm 98 in the Bible. This song was first published in the author's collection "The Psalms of David: Imitated in the language of the New Testament, and applied to the Christian state and worship". This original publication used different music to that used today. The music currently associated with "Joy to the world" was added by Lowell Mason in 1839. The music is believed to have originated from George Frideric Handel. In modern times the song is one of the most published hymns in North America.
