Lyrics

Verse 1

Joyful, joyful we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love: Hearts unfold like flowers 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.

Verse 2

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, Flow'ry meadow, flashing sea, Chanting bird and flowing fountain Call us to rejoice in Thee.

Verse 3

Thou art giving and forgiving, Ever blessing, ever blest; Wellspring of the joy of living, Ocean depth of happy rest! Thou our Father, Christ our brother, All who live in love are Thine; Teach us how to love each other, Lift us to the joy divine.

Verse 4

Mortals join the mighty chorus, Which the morning stars began; Father love is reigning o'er us, Brother love binds man to man. Ever singing, march we onward, Victors in the midst of strife; Joyful music leads us sunward In the triumph song of life.
