βJoy to the Worldβ
The most-published Christmas hymn on the continent, "Joy to the World" is yet another song that was not intended to be a Christmas song.
English hymnist Isaac Watts intended the song to be sung for Easter. His lyrics? Heβs referring to the second coming of Jesus.
So, maybe, this Christmas? Save this post and revisit before Easter. Bring the lyrics out this coming spring and surprise the kiddos, remind them Jesus is the eternal gift, not just in December.
