Isaac Watts - Joy to the World (Kalimba Tab)

Joy to the World is a timeless Christmas carol that has been enjoyed by generations of people around the world. The song was written by Isaac Watts, a prolific hymn writer from England, and first published in 1719. The lyrics of Joy to the World are based on Psalm 98, which celebrates the coming of the Messiah and the restoration of the world. Watts' interpretation of the psalm emphasizes the joy and hope that the birth of Jesus brings to the world. The melody that we know today as Joy to the World was not originally composed for this hymn.

It was actually adapted from a piece of music by Handel, and was arranged to fit Watts' lyrics by Lowell Mason in the 19th century. Despite the fact that the melody was not written specifically for the song, it has become synonymous with Joy to the World and is now one of the most recognizable Christmas tunes in the world. The popularity of Joy to the World can be attributed to its uplifting and joyful message, as well as its catchy melody. The song has been covered by countless artists over the years, ranging from traditional choirs to modern pop stars. It is often played during the Christmas season in churches, shopping malls, and on the radio.
