You satisfy the hungry heart with gift of finest wheat

As when the shepherd calls his sheep,
They know and heed his voice.

Comes in our hearts to dwell

Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee

Joyful, Joyful we adore thee, God of glory, Lord of love.

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, drive the doubt of dark away
Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day

Field and forest, vale and mountain,,Flow’ry meadow flashing sea
Chanting bird and flowing fountain, Call us to rejoice in Thee.

Thou art giving and forgiving, ever blessing ever blest
Well-spring of the joy of living, Ocean depth of happy rest!
Thou art Father, Christ our brother, all who live in love are thine
Teach us how to love each other. Lift us to the joy divine!
