Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,

God of glory, Lord of love;

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,

Drive the dark of doubt away;

Giver of immortal gladness,

Fill us with the light of day!

Field and forest, vale and mountain,

Bloss’ming meadow, flashing sea,

Chanting bird and flowing fountain

Call us to rejoice in Thee.

Wellspring of the joy of living,

Oceandepth of happy rest!

Lift us to the joy divine.
