[Chanting in tongues]

Spring up, o well
Spring up, o well

[Chanting in tongues]

You turn my mourning into joy, my mourning into joy
You break depression
You turn my mourning into joy
O Jesus, you break depression
You break depression

Let freedom reign
Let freedom reign
Let freedom reign
Break off the chains
Break off the chains
Let freedom reign

The joy of the Lord, the joy of the Lord
Is our strength
The joy of the Lord, the joy of the Lord
Is our strength
The joy of the Lord, the joy of the Lord
Is our strength
Over every problem, and every possibility
The joy of the Lord, the joy of the Lord
Is our strength

Joy, joy, joy
Overflowing joy
Overflowing joy
Overflowing joy that breaks depression
That breaks depression
Overflowing joy
The joy of the Lord, the joy of the Lord
Is our strength
The joy of the Lord, the joy of the Lord
Is our strength
The joy of the Lord, the joy of the Lord
Is our strength
The joy of the Lord, the joy of the Lord
Is our strength
The joy of the Lord, the joy of the Lord
Is our strength
