Lyrics

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 skies above
singing bird and flowing fountain
show the wonders of your love

Voices raised we bring before you
our joyful praise as we adore You

You are giving and forgiving
ever blessing, ever blest
well spring of the joy of living
ocean where my soul finds rest
father son and Holy Spirit
you who rescue and restore
joyful we your heaven inherit
there we'll praise you evermore *chorus
