Joyful, Joyful

Joyful, Joyful, we adore Thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Opening to the sun above
Joyful, Joyful, we adore Thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Opening to the sun above

And 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 heaven reflect Thy rays
Stars and angels sing around Thee
Center of unbroken praise
Field and forest, vale and mountain
Flowery meadow, flashing sea
Singing birds and flowing fountains
Call us to rejoice in Thee

We sing in jubilation
Adoration to a joyful King
You are spinning, You are singing
Zealous love over all Your children

[Chorus]
I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy

Mortals join the mighty chorus
Which the morning stars began
Father love is reigning over us
Brother love binds man to man
Ever singing march we onward
Victors in the midst of strife
Joyful music lifts us sunward
In the triumph song

We sing
We sing in jubilation
Adoration to a joyful King
You are spinning, You are singing
Zealous love over all Your children

[Chorus]
I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy

I got the joy
I got the joy
I got the joy
