Joy to the... Moon?

At the Christmas Eve service I was wondering if my wife had ever sung traditional Christmas songs before when in Joy to the World she sang,

"No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the plow."
The plow?

Or on the ride home, Away in the Manger:
"The cattle are lowing,
The poor Baby wakes,
But little Lord Jesus,
No dying He makes."
Well, not until Good Friday at least...

I hope you had her approval to post that.
The pharmacists here thought the line was, "So bring us some piggy pudding..." and didn't believe me that it was figgy until they saw a recipe for it on the Food Network...
