Joyful, joyful, Lord we adore Thee
God of glory Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flow'rs before Thee
Opening to the sun above.
Joyful, Joyful, we adore Thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flow'rs 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!
All Thy works with joy surround Thee
We sing in jubilation, adoration to a joyful King
You are singing, You are singing,
jealous love over all your children
I got the joy, I got the joy, I got the joy! (x4)
Mortals join this happy chorus
Which the morning stars began
Ever singing march we onward
Victors in the midst of strife
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life
Pre-Chorus
In Your presence oh God, there is fullness of joy
