Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flow'rs before Thee,
Opening to the 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.
Hallelujah (repeat )
We adore You ( repeat )
Hallelujah ( Hallelu )
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,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in Thee.
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
Mortals, join the mighty Chorus,
Which the morning stars began.
Father love is reigning o'er us,
Brother love bind man to man.
Ever singing, march we unward,
Victors in the midst of strife.
Joyful music leads us Sunward,
In the triumph song of life.
