Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee 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 Thy works with 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
Blooming mea­dow, flash­ing sea
Chanting bird and flow­ing foun­tain
Call us to re­joice in Thee

Mortals, join the happy cho­rus
Which the morn­ing stars be­gan
Father-love is reign­ing o’er us
Brother lovе binds man to man
Joyful, joy­ful, we adore Thee
Amen!
