“JOYFUL,JOYFUL WE ADORE THEE”
Joyful, joyful, we adore You, God of glory, Lord of

sadness;
Drive the dark of doubt away; Giver of immortal
gladness, Fill us with the light of day!
All Your works with joy surround You,Earth and
heav'n reflect Your rays,Stars and angels sing
around You,Center of unbroken praise;Field and
forest, vale and mountain,Flow'ry meadow,
flashing sea,Chanting bird and flowing
fountainPraising You eternally!
Always giving and forgiving,Ever blessing, ever
blest,Well-spring of the joy of living,Ocean-depth
of happy rest!Loving Father, Christ our Brother,
Let Your light upon us shine;Teach us how to love
each other,Lift us to the joy divine.
Mortals, join the mighty chorus,Which the
morning stars began;God's own love is reigning

song of life.
