Verse 1

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

Chorus

Rejoice rejoice
Emmanuel
Your love has come
Here to dwell

Verse 2

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
Flow’ry meadow flashing sea
Singing bird
And flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in Thee

Chorus

Rejoice rejoice
Emmanuel
Your love has come
Here to dwell
Rejoice rejoice
Emmanuel
Your love has come
Here to dwell

Verse 3

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
