JOYFUL,   JOYFUL,  SING SO LOUDLY,
SING THE ODE, THE SONG OF JOY!

 

Joyful, joyful, sing so loudly,
sing the ode, the song of joy.
 
God is our loving Father,
we are all God’s hopeful Family.
 
God is the eternal light
Who removes all blinding darkness.
 
Christ has arisen!
Sing that resurrection song.
 
Grace, joy, great, great gladness
has removed all dark sadness.
 
Walk with us once again
in this garden gladness.
 
Sit us down with you at
this ever blessed feast.
 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
forever flowing from our lips.
