Hymnal Christian Worship
Among the well known hymns are "Joy to the World" and "When I survey the Wondrous Cross."
"There is a bust of Isaac Watts in Westminster Abbey. He has been honoured by those who have appreciated the contribution he has made to the English speaking peoples. The best honour Watts has is when his hymns are sung, not to his praise, but to the praise of God the Father and to His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ."
