Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

Joyful, joyful
We adore Thee, God of glory
Joyful, joyful
We adore Thee, Lord of love
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
Joyful, joyful
God of glory, Lord of love

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flow'rs before Thee
Op'ning 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

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

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

Mortals, join the happy chorus
Which the morning stars began
Father love is reigning o’er us
Brother love binds man to man
(Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee)
(God of glory, Lord of love)
Ever singing, march we onward
Victors in the midst of strife
Joyful music leads us Sunward
In the triumph song of life

Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light of day
Call us to rejoice in Thee
Lift us to the joy divine

Joyful, joyful
Joyful, our Lord of Love

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
(Joyful, joyful)
Joyful, our Lord of Love
(We adore Thee)
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
Our God of glory

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
(Joyful, joyful)
Joyful, our Lord of Love
(We adore Thee)
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
Our God of glory

Joyful, joyful
God of glory, we adore Thee!
