Joy To The World

E’ Natale!

Oggi ho scelto come sottofondo "Joy To The World", un altro canto molto antico, risalente al ‘700. Questo è inglese. Si dice che la musica, o parte di essa, sia stata scritta da Haendel.
Mi sembra rappresentare bene il messaggio di questo giorno (ovviamente per i credenti).
E’, credo, il mio canto natalizio preferito, ne ho memoria fin da quando ero bambino.
Questa versione la esegue la cantautrice Jewel (una biondazza dell’Alaska), un connubio fra sonorità orchestrali e pop.

Buon Natale a tutti!

Joy To The World
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.
