We thought last year’s Carol, was beautiful, but perhaps it wasn’t quite zippy enough for Storynory. We’ve made up for it this year. This version of Joy to the World is very, very upbeat and joyful¹. Even if you are feeling miserable², this should put a smile on your face. Sing along, clap your hands, get up and boogie!

 

Sung by Gabriella Burnel aka Gladys for Storynory.

Backing Vocals³ by Nikki Davison.

Arranged and produced by Joe Davison of Auburn Jam.

Illustration by Chiara Civati.

 

Words by English hymn⁴ writer Isaac Watts⁵, based on Psalm⁶ 98 in the Bible. First published in 1719.

 

The music is believed to be by George Frederick Handel.

 

 

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 reigns⁷!

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.
