Joyful joyful we adore You
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before You
Opening to the Son above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of eternal gladness
Fill us with the light of day
You are the One who saves, You are the One who saves
You are the One whose hands lift us from the grave
You are the light of life, the everlasting day
You are the One who takes all our sins away
You are giving and forgiving
Ever blessing, ever blessed
Fountain of the joy of living
Ocean depths of happy rest
Jesus you are my rescue, Jesus you are my rescue
I give you everything I am
