Joy To The World Track

This is one of my favorite Christmas Carols. I decided to record it as an instrumental on my Rickenbacker 370/12/RM. Originally named “Antioch,” Mason’s original score said “from George Frederick Handel.”
The tune is named after the city of Antioch, Syria, where believers were first called “Christians”; (Acts 11:26).
Words: Isaac Watts, 1719 Music: Lowell Mason, 1848
