Lyrics

Joy ful, joy ful, we a dore Thee, God of glo ry, Lord of love; Hearts un fold like flow’rs be fore Thee, Op ’ning to the sun a bove.

Melt the clouds of sin and sad ness, Drive the dark of doubt a way; Giv er of im mor tal glad ness, Fill us with the light of day.

All Thy works with joy sur round Thee, Earth and heav’n re flect Thy rays, Stars and an gels sing a round Thee, Cen ter of un bro ken praise.

Field and for est, vale and moun tain, Flow ’ry mead ow, flash ing sea, Chant ing bird and flow ing foun tain, Call us to re joice in Thee.
