“Joy to the World” is an English hymn and Christmas carol that was written in 1719 by the English minister and hymnist Isaac Watts. The tune to the carol is by German-British Baroque composer George Frideric Handel, and the lyrics are a Christian interpretation of Psalm 98 and Genesis 3 from the Bible. It has become the most-published Christmas carol in North America since the 20th century.
A nice classy version of this carol was sung by the American singer Nat King Cole

@JudyEv I don't listen to the radio so I keep my Christmas music level low due to unforeseen memories
