Lyrics
Sing, O heavens, be joyful, O earth, break forth in joyous song.
Sing, O sing, O sing of our God, to Him all praise and thanks belong.
Awake my soul and arise, cast off the darkness of night,
and greet the new morn with strength renewed,
for God is our strength and song.
O, sing from the highest mountain, sing from the deepest sea;
For with hearts of true thanksgiving, all created things now be.
Sing alleluia, Sing alleluia, Sing alleluia, Praise the Lord;
O, sing from the highest mountain, all created things sing praise.
Joyful, joyful, we adore thee, God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before thee, Opening 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.
Mortals join the mighty chorus Which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning over us, Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singing, march we onward, Victors in the midst of strife,
Joyful music leads us sunward In the triumph song of life.
Alleluia, Amen.
