Avalon - Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee lyrics

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee God of glory, Lord of love Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee 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 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 bird and flowing fountain Call us to rejoice in Thee Mortals, join the mighty 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 lifts us Sonward In the triumph song of life Chorus: We sing in jubilation, adoration to a joyful King You are spinning and You are singing Zealous love over all Your children
