1. Joyful joyful we adore Thee

God of glory Lord of love;

Hearts unfold like flow'rs 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!

1. Joyful joyful

we adore Thee

God of glory Lord of love;

Hearts unfold like flow'rs 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 4. Mortals

join the mighty chorus Which the morning stars began;

Love divine is reigning o'er us

Leading us with mercy's hand.

Ever singing march we onward

Victors in the midst of strife.

Joyful music leads us sunward In the triumph song of life!
