Händel is the composer. Mason took Händel's Messiah and arranged some of the melodies to the lyrics "Joy to the World". This makes Mason the arranges, but Händel is still the composer.

Joy to the world! The Lord is come.
Let earth receive her King.
Let every heart prepare Him room,
and heaven and nature sing.

Joy to the earth! The Saviour reigns.
Let men their songs employ,
while fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
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.

He rules the world with truth and grace
and makes the nations prove
the glories of His righteousness
and wonders of His love.
