Incidentally, since I mentioned An Online Christmas Songbook above, I should add that I really like their early-American fuging tune setting of Joy to the World, to SHOUTING JOY.

By the way, Jean, in your local dialect is there a difference between "suns" and "sons" (a difference in pronunciation, I mean - would a listener know which you were singing? "Sons" is the way Heber wrote it back in 1811, but some later Protestant hymnals changed it to "Stars" (probably for fear the Brightest and Best Son might be confused with the Infant Himself); "Suns" is an interesting and useful compromise.
