JOYFUL JOYFUL
Joyful, joyful, Lord, we adore Thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Hail Thee as 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
Come and join the chorus
Which the morning stars began
The Father of Love is reigning over us
He watches over everything
So we sing
Joyful, joyful, Lord, we adore Thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Hail Thee as the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
