Product Description
In this fresh arrangement of the classic hymn by Beethoven, the timeless melody shines through but is enhanced by some new harmonies and rhythmic phrases in the piano accompaniment. The piece begins quietly, then gradually builds. An optional second vocal part helps bring the piece to a stirring climax.
Lyrics
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee,
Op’ning 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 heav’n reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flow’ry meadow, flashing sea,
Singing bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in Thee.
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee!
Thou art giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Wellspring of the joy of living,
Ocean depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ our Brother,
All who live in love are Thine;
Teach us how to love each other,
Lift us to the joy divine.
Mortals, join the happy chorus,
Which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o’er us,
Binding all within its span.
Ever singing, march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife,
Joyful music leads us Sunward
In the triumph song of life.
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee (Sing unto the Lord)
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee (Sing unto the Lord)
We adore Thee, Lord of love!

| Background Info: | The opening stanza is an optional solo, providing both an opportunity to feature a young voice, and to ease the challenge of learning all the words for the rest of the choir. The anthem will work fine with only unison voices if a second part is not available. |
