Lyrics
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
All your works with joy surround you
Earth and heav’n reflect your rays
Stars and angels sing around you
Center of unbroken praise
Field and forest, vale and mountain
Flow’ry meadow, flashing sea
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Praising you eternally
Joy to the world the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare him room
Let every heart heart prepare him room
Let every heart heart prepare him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing
Joyful, joyful we adore thee
(Joy to the world)
Joyful, joyful we adore thee
(Joy to the world)
Always giving and forgiving
Ever blessing, ever blest
Well-spring of the joy of living
Ocean depth of happy rest
Tour 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
