Lyrics to the hymn, Joy To The World

 

A snowy field



Introduction

Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write about hymns, instruments, recipes, and animals; I hope that I can answer any questions that you might have.

The Subject At Hand


Merry Christmas!

It is the first day of December, 2024; I've been so excited to start uploading Christmas hymns to the blog, so here we go! Today's song is a beautiful hymn known as Joy To The World. It was published in 1719, and written by Isaac Watts.

It really annoys me when people in the comments of this song say that they listen to it throughout the year. One: Christmas songs are special. There are hundreds of other hymns that are just as pretty. Two: it is technically not a advent song, it's a eschatological song. So you could sing it all year long, guilt free. 

If you don't know how the tune goes, I'm shocked, and I'll leave some links down below. A lot of people don't use the third verse; just a heads up.

Read Psalm 58; that was a Bible verse that inspired Issac Watts to write this hymn.

Luke 2:10

"And the angel said unto them, "Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people."

I lack words to describe it.



The Lyrics


Verse 1 

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!

Let Earth receive her king;

Let every heart prepare Him room,

And Heav'n and nature sing,

And Heav'n and nature sing, 

And Heav'n and Heav'n and nature sing.

Verse 2 

Joy to the Earth, the Savior reigns!

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.

Verse 3 

No more let sins and sorrows grow, 

Nor thorns infest the ground;

He comes to make His blessings flow

Far as the curse is found,

Far as the curse is found,

Far as, far as the curse is found.

Verse 4 

He rules the world with truth and grace,

And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness,

And wonders of His love,

And wonders of His love,

And wonders, wonders of His love.

Remember the solar eclipse?



Afterwards

He comes to make His blessings flow far as the curse is found.

Amen.

Lyrics to the hymn, This Is My Father's world

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily...

Or do you want a change from the regular buttercreams? Then I have reason to believe that you will be intrigued at least, in love at most with my mother’s Ermine frosting recipe.  It requires some stove time, very little butter and it tastes good.  Just follow my instructions carefully. Trust me, you don't want flour lumps.* *I will mention this again later*                                                           ...
