Author: | Henry van Dyke |
Tune: | HYMN TO JOY |
Arranger: | Edward Hodges |
Composer: | Ludwig van Beethoven |
1 Joyful, joyful, 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!
2 Thou art giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Wellspring of the joy of living,
Ocean-depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ our Brother,-
All who live in love are thine;
Teach us how to love each other,
Lift us to the Joy Divine.
3 Mortals, join the mighty chorus
Which the morning stars began;
Father-love is reigning o’er us,
Brother-love binds man to man.
Ever singing march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife;
Joyful music leads us sun-ward
In the triumph song of life.
Amen.
