  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Thou art giving and forgiving,
  • Ever blessing, ever blest,
  • Wellspring of the joy of living,
  • Ocean-depth 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.
