JOY TO THE WORLD - by Isaac Watts, 1719 - Public Domain
Joy to the world! The Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King.
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room,
And heav'n and nature sing.
Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy.
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.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love.

The most important single thing you can do in your life is to establish a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, in which He is your personal Lord and Saviour, and you are His trusting follower. If you do this one thing, you will find joy and happiness now and forever. If you do not do this one thing, you will continue to deprive yourself of the many blessings God has intended for you to receive. If you have not yet accepted Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour, you can do so now by clicking HERE! ><>
This page has three main kinds of links: (1) Links to my own original
music and my MIDI sequences of other favorite hymns and worship songs;
(2) Links to other MIDI hymns around the Internet; and (3) Links that help
you with MIDI, unzipping, and other technicalities.
Most of these are optimized for General MIDI synthesizer, and arranged in four-part harmony with instrumentation suitable for choir and congregation. The style (for most of these) is simple and durable, trying to follow the example set by Lowell Mason, the great 19th century composer/arranger.
For some of these, there is a MIDI file, lyrics, and documentation, all compressed into one .ZIP file for each hymn. Also, the MIDI files and lyrics are available separately. Some also have the MIDI file encoded on the same page as the lyrics.

This is a plea from earlier Christians for a better life in heaven than they had here on earth. I selected the most powerful verses from this long text, and added new music of my own. The text was directly inspired by Revelation 21:1-8, which describes The New Jerusalem, where Christians will live forever with the Lord. The English words are more than 400 years old, but they are as clear and plaintive as if they were written yesterday. The English words are based on the words of St. Augustine, another 1,200 years earlier.
