Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

1. Joy- ful, joy- ful, we a- dore Thee, God of glor- y, Lord of love; Hearts un- fold like flowers be- fore Thee, o- pening to the sun a- bove. Melt the clouds of sin and sad- ness; drive the dark of doubt a- way; Giv- er of im- mor- tal glad- ness, fill us with the light of day!

2. All Thy works with joy sur- round Thee, earth and heaven re- flect Thy rays, Stars and an- gels sing a- round Thee, cen- ter of un- bro- ken praise. Field and for- est, vale and moun- tain, flow- ery mea- dow, flash- ing sea, Sing- ing bird and flow- ing foun- tain call us to re- joice in Thee.

3. Thou art giv- ing and for- giv- ing, ev- er bless- ing, ev- er blessed, Well- spring of the joy of liv- ing, o- cean depth of hap- py rest! Thou our Fa- ther, Christ our Bro- ther, all who live in love are Thine; Teach us how to love each o- ther, lift us to the joy div- ine.

4. Mor- tals, join the ha- ppy chor- us, which the morn- ing stars be- gan; Fa- ther love is reign- ing o'er us, bro- ther love binds man to man. E- ver sing- ing, march we on- ward, vic- tors in the midst of strife, Joy- ful mu- sic leads us Sun- ward in the tri- umph song of life.
