Laura Hackett - Joyful, Joyful

Joyful, joyful, lord, we adore thee, God of glory, lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before thee, opening to the sun above

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
Singing bird and flowing fountain, call us to rejoice in thee

We sing in jubilation, adoration to a joyful king
You are spinning, you are singing
Zealous love over all your children

I got the joy, I got the joy, I got the joy!
I got the joy, I got the joy, I got the joy!
I got the joy, I got the joy, I got the joy!
I got the joy, I got the joy, I got the joy!

Mortals, join the mighty chorus, which the morning stars began
Father love is reigning over us, brother love binds man to man

Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife
Joyful music leads us sunward, in the triumph song of life

We sing in jubilation, adoration to a joyful king
You are singing, you are singing
Jealous love over all your children

I got the joy, I got the joy, I got the joy!
I got the joy, I got the joy, I got the joy!
I got the joy, I got the joy, I got the joy!
I got the joy, I got the joy, I got the joy!

In your presence oh God, there is fullness of joy
At your right hand oh God, there are pleasures evermore

I got the joy, I got the joy, I got the joy!
I got the joy, I got the joy, I got the joy!
I got the joy, I got the joy, I got the joy!
I got the joy, I got the joy, I got the joy!
