Songtexte: Sandi Patty. Sandi Patty Christmas Live. Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee.

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 joys surround Thee,
Earth and Heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and heaven sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain.
Flowery meadow, flashing seas,
Chanting birds and flowing fountain,
Call us to rejoice in Thee.

Thou art giving and forgiving,

Ever blessing, ever blessed,
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.

Mortals, join the mighty chorus
Which the morning stars began;
Father's 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 sun ward,
In the triumph song of life.
