[Verse 1]
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Praising Three their 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

[Verse 2]
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 forest, vale and mountain
Blooming meadow, flashing sea
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in Thee

[Verse 3]
Thou art giving and forgiving
Ever blessing, ever blest
Well-spring of the joy of living
Ocean-depth of happy rest
Thou art Father, Christ our Brother
All who live in love are Thine
Teach us how to love each other
Lift us to the Joy Divine
