Joyful, joyful
Lord, we adore thee
God of glory, lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before thee
Hail Thee as 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
Fill us with the light
Oh, fill us with the light of day
Joyful, joyful lord, we adore thee, God of glory, lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before thee hail thee as the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin, sin and sadness drive the dark of doubt away
Drive it away, giver of immortal gladness fill us
Fill us with the light of day
Light of day!
Joyful, joyful, Lord we adore thee
An' in my life I put none before thee
'Cuz since I was a youngster I came to know
That you was the only way to go
So I had to grow an' come to an understandin'
That I'm down with the King so now I'm demandin'
That you tell me who you down with, see
Cuz all I know is that I'm down with G-O-D
You down with G-O-D?
(Yeah, you know me)
You down with G-O-D?
(Yeah, you know me)
You down with G-O-D?
(Yeah, you know me)
Who's down with G-O-D?
(Everybody)
Come and join the chorus
The mighty, mighty chorus
Which the morning stars begun
The Father of love is reigning over us
Right away
What have you done for Him lately?
Ooh, ooh, ooh yeah
What have you done for Him lately?
He watches over everything
So we sing
Joyful, joyful lord, we adore thee, God of glory, lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before thee
Hail thee as the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin, sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Drive it away
Giver of immortal gladness (fill us)
Fill us (Fill us with the light of day, Lord, fill us)
Fill us
Fill us (yeah, fill us)
Fill us, fill us
Fill us with the light of day
