The
lyrics of the old Christmas carol 'Joy to the World' were written in 1719 by
Isaac Watts (1674-1748). The music was written by George Frederick Handel
(1685-1759) It was originally called �Antioch�, named after the city of
Antioch in Syria, where believers were first called �Christians� (Acts
Chapter 11, verse 26). Watts wrote many hymns and Carols and was awarded a
Doctor of Divinity degree by the University of Edinburgh in 1728. |
