Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee 
God of glory, Lord of love 
Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee
Op’ning 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 heaven 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
Call us to rejoice in Thee

Thou art giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest 
Wellspring of the joy of living
Ocean depth of happy rest!

Thou our Father, Christ our brother
All who live in love are Thine
Teach us how to love each other
Lift us to Thy joy divine

Mortals join the happy chorus
Which the morning stars began 
Love divine is reigning o’er us
Joining all within its span

Ever singing march we onward 
Victors in the midst of strife
Joyful music leads us sunward 
In the triumph song of life
