"Joy to the World," written by Isaac Watts and published in 1719 as part of his collection of hymns. The phrase "Repeat the sounding joy" begins the refrain of the second verse. The music was composed by Lowell Mason in 1839, perhaps based on melodies written by Handel. The tune name "Antioch" is associated with this carol.

It's actually impossible to get a correct transcription, or anything like it. The original writer of the song was known for his highly experimental compositions, the original was arranged for harp (with strings made of nickel-wound human lips), triangle, and cheese grater, so playing it on a piano or guitar, or any conventional instrument would be silly, and is the most common joke among classical composers and musicians.
The text says "While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains repeat the sounding joy." So I would say that its the earth, or more specifically the fields, floods, rocks, hills, and plains repeating the sounding joy.
There is a Christmas carol called "Christmas is Coming", based on a nursery rhyme. There are other versions of the song. One is "A Round About Christmas" made popular by the Kingston Trio. Another is "Christmas Is a-Comin", performed by Bing Crosby. Jason Gray also performs a song called "Christmas is Coming" on his album, Christmas Stories: Repeat the Sounding Joy.
Ode to Joy is not a Christmas Carol. It has been adapted as a hymn, but not a carol.
The Christmas song with joy, joy, joy is a German hymn translated into English, How Great Our Joy.
Apparantley, the English meaning of the name Carol is 'Song of joy and praise'.
