[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Joyful, joyful, [G]we ad[D]ore [G]Thee,
[D]God of glory, [A]Lord of [D]love;
Hearts unfold like [G]flow'rs
before Thee,
[D]Op'ning to the [A]sun [D]above.[G]
[A]Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
Drive the [Bm]dark of [G]doubt [A]awa[D]y;
Giver of im[G]mortal gladness,
[D]Fill us with [F#m]the li[A]ght of da[D]y![G][D][G]
[D]All Thy works with [G]joy surround Thee,
[D]Earth and heav'n [F#m]re fle[A]ct Thy rays,
[D]Stars and angels [G]sing around Thee,
[D]Center of un[A]broken [D]praise.
[A]Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flow'ry [Bm]meadow, [G]flashing [A]sea,
[D]Chanting birds and [G]flowing fountain
[D]Call us to re[A]joice in [D]Thee.
Thou art giving [G]and forgiving,
[D]Ever [F#m]blessing, [A]ever blest,
[D]Wellspring of [G]the joy of living,
[D]Ocean depth of [A]happy [D]rest!
[A]Thou our Father, Christ our Brother,
All who [Bm]live in [G]love [A]are Thine;
[D]Teach us how to lov[G]e each other,
[D]Lift us to the [A]joy [D]di [Dm]vine.[D]
[F]Mortals, join the hap[Bb]py chorus,
[F]Which the morning [C]stars began;
[F]Father love is rei[Bb]gning o'er us,
[F]Brother love binds [C]man to [F]man.
[C]Ever singing, march we onward,
Victors [Dm]in the m[Bb]idst of st[C]rife,
[F]Joyful music [Bb]leads us Sunward
[F]In the triumph [C]song of [F]life.[Bb][F][C]
[F]Joyful music [Bb]leads us Sunward
[F]In the triumph [C]song of [F]life.
