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



All thy work 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


Chanting bird and flowing fountain

Call us to rejoice in thee



Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,rejoice



Mortals, join the mighty chorus


Which the morning stars began


Father love is reignning o'er us

Brother love binds man to man


Ever singing, march we onward


Victors in the midst we strife

Joyful music leads us sunward


In the triumph song of life


In the triumph song of life
