Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee

(album: A Very Maverick Christmas - 2021)

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flow'rs before Thee
Healthy as the sun above

Joy in my soul, joy in my soul
Joy in my soul, joy in my soul

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flow'rs before Thee
Healthy 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!

Joy in my soul, joy in my soul
Joy in my soul, joy in my soul

All Your works with joy surround You
Earth and heaven reflect Your rays
Stars and angels sing around You
Center of unbroken praise
Field and forest, vale and mountain
Flow'ry meadow, flashing sea
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Praising You eternally!

Joy in my soul, joy in my soul
Joy in my soul, joy in my soul
You give me joy (hey), You give me joy

Joy in my soul, joy in my soul
Joy in my soul, joy in my soul
