Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee

	  		VERSE 1: 
E                  B    
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, 
E            C#m     B 
God of glory Lord of love; 
E                  B 
Hearts unfold like flow'rs before Thee, 
E              B   E 
Opening to the sun above. 
B        E         B       E 
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; 
B         E       C#m   B 
Drive the dark of doubt away; 
E          B 
Giver of immortal gladness, 
E                B        E 
Fill us with the light of day!  
 
VERSE 2: 
All Thy works with joy surround Thee 
Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays 
Stars and angels sing around Thee 
Center of unbroken praise 
Field and forest, vale and mountain 
Flowery meadow, flashing sea 
Chanting birds and flowing fountains 
Call us to rejoice in Thee 
 
VERSE 3: 
Thou art giving and forgiving 
Ever blessing, ever blest 
Well spring 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 
 
VERSE 4: 
Mortals join this happy Chorus 
Which the morning stars began 
Father love is reigning over 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
