\\n \\tJoyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
\\nGod of glory, Lord of love;
\\nHearts unfold like flow\'rs before Thee,
\\nOp\'ning to the sun above.
\\nMelt the clouds of sin and sadness;
\\nDrive the dark of doubt away;
\\nGiver of immortal gladness,
\\nFill us with the light of day!
\\n
\\n
\\n 
\\n
\\n
\\n \\tAll Thy works with joy surround Thee,
\\nEarth and heav\'n reflect Thy rays,
\\nStars and angels sing around Thee,
\\nCenter of unbroken praise.
\\nField and forest, vale and mountain,
\\nFlow\'ry meadow, flashing sea,
\\nSinging bird and flowing fountain
\\nCall us to rejoice in Thee.
\\n
\\n
\\n 
\\n
\\n
\\n \\tThou art giving and forgiving,
\\nEver blessing, ever blest,
\\nWellspring of the joy of living,
\\nOcean depth of happy rest!
\\nThou our Father, Christ our Brother,
\\nAll who live in love are Thine;
\\nTeach us how to love each other,
\\nLift us to the joy divine.
\\n
\\n
\\n 
\\n
\\n
\\n \\tMortals, join the happy chorus,
\\nWhich the morning stars began;
\\nFather love is reigning o\'er us,
\\nBrother love binds man to man.
\\nEver singing, march we onward,
\\nVictors in the midst of strife,
\\nJoyful music leads us Sunward
\\nIn the triumph song of life.
