Joyful, joyful, we adore you
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before you
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 your works with joy surround you
Earth and heaven reflect your rays
Stars and angels sing around you
Center of unbroken praise
Field and forest, vale and mountain
Flowery meadow, flashing sea
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Praising you eternally
Always giving and forgiving
Ever blessing, ever blessed
Well-spring of the joy of living
Ocean depth of happy rest
Loving Father, Christ our brother
Let your light upon us shine
Teach us how to love each other
Lift us to the joy divine
I’ve got the joy, joy, joy
I’ve got the joy, joy, joy
I’ve got the joy, joy, joy
I’ve got the joy, joy, joy
I’ve got the joy, joy, joy
I’ve got the joy, joy, joy
I’ve got the joy
I’ve got the joy
I’ve got the joy
I’ve got the joy
I’ve got the joy
I’ve got the joy
I’ve got the joy
