Joyful, Joyful,We Adore Thee Words by Henry Van Dyke Music by Ludwig Van Beethoven Words and Music public domain 723
Joyful, joyful we adore TheeGod of glory, Lord of loveHearts unfold like flow’rs before TheeOp’ning to the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadnessDrive the dark of doubt awayGiver of immortal gladnessFill us with the light of day
All Thy works with joy surround TheeEarth and heav’n reflect Thy raysStars and angels sing around TheeCenter of unbroken praise
Field and forest, vale and mountainFlow’ry meadow, flashing seaSinging bird and flowing fountainCall us to rejoice in Thee
Thou art giving and forgivingEver blessing, ever blestWellspring of the joy of livingOcean depth of happy rest
Thou our Father, Christ our BrotherAll who live in love are ThineTeach us how to love each otherLift us to the joy divine
Mortals, join the mighty chorusWhich the morning stars beganLove divine is reigning o’er usLeading us with mercy’s hand
Ever singing, march we onwardVictors in the midst of strifeJoyful music leads us sunwardIn the triumph song of life
