Good morning.

Welcome to the morning motivation brought to you by the Patriot Gold Group in the Public Square app.

This month we're talking about joy.

A bit of an advent up until Christmas, but the theme is joy.

Joy to the world.

It's a song, if you heard of it. Written in 1719 by Isaac Watts. It's based on Psalm 98. Now, there's something interesting about this. Psalm 98. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things. Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst

into jubilant song with music. Make music to the Lord with the harp, with the sound of singing,

with trumpets and the blast of the ram's horn, shout for joy before the Lord, the king.

Let the sea resound and everything in it, the world and all who live in it. Let the rivers

clap their hands.

Let the mountains sing together for joy.

Let them sing before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth.

Wait a second.

So Isaac Watts wrote a hymn about that in 1719.

It was put to the music that we know it today in 1848 okay

but it's a christmas song isn't it me yeah it is. Here's the line.

Joy to the world, the Lord has come.

This is the song, the hymn.

Joy to the world, the Lord has come.

Let earth receive her king.

Baby Jesus.

Isn't that it?
