Lyrics

Joyful, joyful, we adore thee, God of glory, Lord of love.
Hearts unfold like flow'rs before thee, praising thee their sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; drive the dark of doubt away.
Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day!

All thy works with joy surround thee, earth and heav'n reflect thy rays,
stars and angels sing around thee, center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain, blooming meadow, flashing sea,
charting bird and flowing fountain call us to rejoice in thee.

Thou art giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever bless'd,
wellspring of the joy of living, oceandepth of happy rest!
Thou our Maker, Christ our brother, all who live in love are thine.
Teach us how to love each other, lift us to the joy divine.

Mortals join the mighty chorus which the morning stars began.
Love divine is reigning o'er us, leading us with mercy's hand.
Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife.
Joyful music lifts us sunward in the triumph song of life!
