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
Fill us with the light
Oh, fill us with the light of day

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!

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 understanding
That I'm down with the King
So now I'm demanding
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)
You down with G-O-D? (yeah, you know me)
You down with G-O-D? (yeah, you know me)
Who's down with G-O-D? (Everybody)

Come and join the chorus
The mighty, mighty chorus
Which the morning stars begun
The Father of love is reigning over us
Right away
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

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
(Fill us with the light of day, Lord
Fill us) fill us
Fill us (yeah, fill us) fill us, fill us
Fill us with the light of day light of day!
