Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee |
|
Joyful Joyful we adore Thee |
God of glory Lord of love |
Hearts unfold like flowers 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! |
|
Though art giving and forgiving |
Ever blessing, ever blest, |
Well-spring of the joy of living |
Ocean depth of happy rest! |
Thou our Father Christ our Brother |
All who live in love are Thine; |
Teach us how to love each other |
Lift us to the joy divine, |
|
Mortals join the mighty chorus |
Which the morning star 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 |
|
