Couplet 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

Fill us with the light of day

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
Flowery meadow
Flashing sea
Chanting bird and
Flowing fountain
Praising You eternally

Ever blessing ever blessed

Loving Father Christ our Brother
Let Your light

Love each other
Lift us to the joy divine

Mortals join the mighty chorus
Which the morning stars began
God's own love is reigning o’er us
Joining people hand in hand

Ever singing march we onward
Victors in the
Midst of strife
Joyful music
Leads us sunward
In the triumph
Song of life

Joyful joyful
We adore Thee
God of Glory
Lord of Love
