Are these natural? Or What would you say instead?
May your joy last forever.
May your joy never fade.
May your joy be everlasting.

They are natural, but kind of formal. Like the sort of thing you might say at a wedding speech.

Yes, they are natural, but they sound quite formal and poetic.
You might hear sentences like these in a speech, a wedding, or in writing, but not often in everyday conversation.
In daily English, people would usually say something simpler like:
I hope you stay happy.
I hope your happiness lasts.
Or my personal preference
I wish you a lifetime of happiness.

I hope you live a happy life.
