about

"Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee" are the opening lyrics of this hymn extracted from the final movement (Ode To Joy) of Beethoven's 9th symphony. The lyric we sing today is quite different from that used by Beethoven; it was composed by Henry Van Dyke in 1907. This is an instrumental version of Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee featuring String Orchestra, percussion, and pipe organ.

lyrics

Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee Lyrics:

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

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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
