• The Hymn Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee hymn to joy

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love; Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee, Op’ning 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 Thy works with joy surround Thee, Earth and heav’n reflect Thy rays, Stars and angels sing around Thee, Center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, Flow’ry meadow, flashing sea, Singing bird and flowing fountain Call us to rejoice in Thee.

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.

Mortals, join the happy 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 Sunward In the triumph song of life.

Shepherd me, O God, beyond my wants, beyond my fears, from death into life. God is my shepherd, so nothing shall I want. I rest in the meadows of faithfulness and love. I walk by the quiet waters of peace. Refrain

Gently You raise me and heal my weary soul. You lead me by pathways of righteousness and truth. My spirit shall sing the music of Your name. Refrain

Though I should wander the valley of death, I fear no evil, for You are at my side. Your rod and Your staff, my comfort and my hope. Refrain

You have set me a banquet of love in the face of hatred, Crowning me with love beyond my pow’r to hold. Refrain

Surely Your kindness and mercy follow me all the days of my life. I will dwell in the house of my God forevermore. Refrain
