Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

[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 works 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

Flowery meadow, flashing sea

Chanting bird and flowing fountain

Call us to rejoice in Thee

[Verse 3]

Mortals, join the happy chorus

Which the morning stars began

Father love is reigning o'еr us

Brother love binds man to man

Ever singing, march wе 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
