Verse 1:

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

Oh, fill us with the light of day

Chorus:

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!

Rap:

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)

Who's down with G-O-D? (Everybody)

Bridge:

Come and join the chorus

The mighty, mighty chorus

Which the morning stars begun

The Father of love is reigning over us (By the way…)

Bridge 2:

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
