Joyful, joyful, we adore
Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flow'rs
before Thee,
Hail Thee as 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!
2
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,
Bloss'ming meadow, flashing
sea,
Chanting bird and flowing
fountain
Call us to rejoice in Thee.
3
Thou art giving and
forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Wellspring of the joy of
living,
Oceandepth of happy rest!
Thou the father, Christ our
Brother -
All who live in love are
Thine:
Teach us how to love each
other,
Lift us to the joy divine.
