Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

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
Dancing bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in thee
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
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life
