| Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee |
| |
| Joyful Joyful we adore Thee |
| God of glory Lord of love |
| Hearts unfold like flowers 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! |
| |
| Though art giving and forgiving |
| Ever blessing, ever blest, |
| Well-spring 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 the joy divine, |
| |
| Mortals join the mighty chorus |
| Which the morning star began; |
| Father love is reigning o'er us |
| Brother love binds man to man. |
| Ever singing march we onward |
| Victors in the midst of strife; |
| Joyful music leads us sunward |
| In the triumph song of life |
| |
