Jubilate
Jubilate
Adoramus

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

Thou art giving and forgiving
Ever blessing, ever blest
Well-spring 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

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

Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light
Of day
