Joyful joyful
We adore You
God of glory
Lord of love
Hearts unfold like
flowers before You
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 heaven
reflect Your rays
Stars and angels
sing around You
Center of
unbroken praise
Field and forest
Vale and mountain
Flowery meadow
Flashing sea
Chanting bird and
flowing fountain
Teach us what our
praise should be
You are giving
and forgiving
Ever blessing
Ever blessed
Wellspring of the
joy of living
Ocean-depth of
happy rest
Holy Spirit
Father Mother
All who love
belong to You
Teach us how to
love each other
By Your love
our joy renew
Mortals join the
happy chorus
Which the morning
stars began
Boundless love
is reigning o'er us
Reconciling
race and clan
Ever singing
We move forward
Faithful in the
midst of strife
Joyful music
leads us onward
In the triumph
song of life
