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 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 and forest, vale and mountain 
Flowery meadow, flashing sea 
Chanting bird and flowing fountain 
Call us to rejoice in thee 

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