Verse 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 doubt away/
Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day/
Verse 2
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/
