We
adore Thee
“Joyful, joyful, we adore thee,
God
of glory, Lord of love;
hearts
unfold like flowers before thee,
opening
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!
All thy works with joy surround thee,
earth
and heaven reflect thy rays,
stars
and angels sing around thee,
center
of unbroken praise.
Field
and forest, vale and mountain,
flowery
meadow, flashing sea,
chanting
bird and flowing fountain,
call
us to rejoice in thee.”
