Singalong version of “Joy to the World” … a Christmas carol written in 1719 by Isaac Watts. A new backing track was created for this video.

Our singalongs are designed to be fun for the whole family, including loved ones who have Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. We select singable keys and tempos, then add easy-to-read lyrics and an on-screen singalong leader. This video features Songs & Smiles co-founder Eric Kolb.

Songs & Smiles is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization built with the mission of keeping families connected during the Alzheimer's journey. Singing together can help people living with dementia better connect with family and friends and their own joy-filled memories.

LYRICS

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 world! 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.
