Isaac Watts’s 1719 paraphrase of Psalm 98 became “Joy to the World” when Lowell Mason set it to music, inspired by Handel. Though Mason credited Handel, the jubilant fanfare was his own. Watch Ryan Murphy’s orchestral fantasia reimagine this classic as The Tabernacle Choir performs it in their Christmas special 'Hope of the Season.'
