DJoy-ful, joy-ful, Awe a-dore DThee, God of Aglo-ry, DLord of Alove

DHearts un-fold like Gflow'rs be-fore DThee, o-p'ning Ato the Dsun a-Above

DMelt the clouds of Asin and sad-Dness, drive the Adark of Ddoubt a-Away

DGiv-er of im-Gmor-tal Dglad-ness, fill us Awith the Dlight of Aday

DAll Thy works with Ajoy sur-round DThee, earth and Aheav'n re-Dflect Thy Arays

DStars and an-gels Gsing a-round DThee, cen-ter Aof un-Dbro-ken Apraise

DField and for-est, Avale and Dmoun-tain, flow-ery Amea-dow, Dflash-ing Asea

DChant-ing bird and Gflow-ing Dfoun-tain, call us Ato re-Djoice in AThee

DThou art giv-ing Aand for-giv-Ding, ev-er Abless-ing, Dev-er Ablest

DWell-spring of the Gjoy of Dliv-ing, o-cean Adepth of Dhap-py Arest

DThou our Fa-ther, AChrist our DBro-ther, all who Alive in Dlove are AThine

DTeach us how to Glove each Do-ther, lift us Ato the Djoy di-Avine

DMor-tals, join the Ahap-py Dcho-rus which the Amorn-ing Dstars be-Agan

DFa-ther love is Greign-ing Do'er us, bro-ther Alove binds Dman to Aman

DEv-er sing-ing, Amarch we Don-ward, vic-tors Ain the Dmidst of Astrife

DJoy-ful mu-sic Gleads us Dsun-ward in the Atri-umph Dsong of Alife
