Hymn of Joy 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
[Chorus]
Rejoice, rejoice!
Emmanuel
Your love has come
Here to dwell
[Verse 2]
All Thy works with joy surround Thee
Earth and heaven reflect thy rays
Stars and angels sing around Thee
Center of unbroken praise
Field and forest, vale and mountain
Flow’ry meadow, flashing sea
Singing bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in Thee
[Chorus]
Rejoice, rejoice!
Emmanuel
Your love has come
Here to dwell
Rejoice, rejoice!
Emmanuel
Your love has come
Here to dwell
[Verse 3]
Mortals join the happy 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
