🎵 Lyrics
Verse 1:
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
Verse 2:
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
Verse 3:
Mortals, join the mighty 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 we strife
Joyful music leads us sunward, In the triumph song of life
