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 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 and forest, vale and mountain
Flowery meadow, flashing sea
Chanting bird and flowing fountain

Call us to rejoice in thee

Joyful music leads us sunward

In the triumph song
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life
