- Recorded: 1987
Although German composer George F. Handel is usually credited with composing the melody for Joy to the World, the music was actually composed in the early 1800s by American composer Lowell Mason. The words to the song are based on a 1719 translation of Psalm 98 by Isaac Watts. Mason set the words to music and attributed the composition to Handel.
