Scris in 1719 de catre Isaac Watts, colindul "Joy to the World" este un colind de Craciun traditional. Isaac frecventa Academia Nonconformista din Stroke Newington si i-a fost dat ordinul de Pastor al unei congregatii independente. A scris numeroase imnuri si colinde. In 1728, Universitatea din Ediburgh l-a premiat cu gradul de Doctor al Divinitatii. Muzica acestui colind a fost compusa de George Frederick Handel.

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, 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,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, 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,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, 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,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.
