Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee | Guest Singer | Songs and Everlasting Joy

Nature has been created by God to show us what He is like. Even marred by over 6,000 years of sin, nature still has beauty and the ability to lift our souls toward the Creator. Imagine what it will be like when there is no more death, no more sin and no more degradation. We look forward to the earth made new and how joyful we will feel at that time!

This song is a duet between my second daughter and myself. She is 10 years old and loves to sing. Thus far, she has not had singing training, but is starting it this year and is very excited. I hope to share more of her singing this year.

Thank you to everyone who has continued to listen to the old songs on this channel. I have received your messages asking for new songs and, though there are still some issues to overcome (you will notice the backing tracks are all just piano still), I am hoping to upload more regularly once again. May the Lord continue to bless you as you go into a new week.

Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

Verse 1
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flow’rs 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 of day!

Verse 2
All Thy works with joy surround Thee,
Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Bloss’ming meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in Thee.

Verse 3
Thou art giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Well-spring of the joy of living,
Ocean-depth of happy rest!
Thou the father, Christ our Brother –
All who live in love are Thine:
Teach us how to love each other,
Lift us to the joy divine.
