https://peertube.fourangrydachshunds.nohost.me/videos/watch/9a0c3e35-bd6e-47ec-957a-94c6360f941a “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You” is a classic Christian hymn of praise, inspired by Henry van Dyke’s 1907 text “Hymn of Joy” and sung to Ludwig van Beethoven’s famous HYMN TO JOY melody from Symphony No. 9. In these first two verses, all creation joins our song: hearts opening “like flowers before” God, clouds of sin and sadness melting away, and “field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea, chanting bird and flowing fountain” all calling us to rejoice in the Lord of love. Whether in Sunday worship, weddings, or simple moments of personal prayer, this joyful hymn lifts our eyes from the weight of the world to the glory of God, inviting us to adore the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit with all our heart, soul, and strength. Recorded live by the Sunday 7pm Choir at SFDS Parish, Ajax ON Canada. Thanks for listening and God bless! 🙏🏼 Song Title: Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You Artist(s): Text adapted from “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee” (Henry van Dyke, 1907, public domain); Tune: HYMN TO JOY, from Symphony No. 9, Ludwig van Beethoven, public domain Lyrics 1 Joyful, joyful, we adore You, God of glory, Lord of love; Hearts unfold like flow'rs before You, 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! 2 All Your works with joy surround You, Earth and heav'n reflect Your rays, Stars and angels sing around You, Center of unbroken praise; Field and forest, vale and mountain, Flow'ry meadow, flashing sea, Chanting bird and flowing fountain Praising You eternally! #JoyfulJoyful #HymnToJoy #ChristianHymn #CatholicChoir #Sunday7pmChoir #PraiseAndWorship #TraditionalHymn #ChoirWithLyrics #Beethoven #HenryVanDyke Thanks for watching the video Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You | Traditional Hymn of Praise | Choir w/ Lyrics | HYMN TO JOY Wed, 05 Aug 2026 17:38:18 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://peertube.fourangrydachshunds.nohost.me https://peertube.fourangrydachshunds.nohost.me/lazy-static/avatars/841e8d36-3573-4ed6-bb57-c78d3030ac78.png https://peertube.fourangrydachshunds.nohost.me/videos/watch/9a0c3e35-bd6e-47ec-957a-94c6360f941a All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://peertube.fourangrydachshunds.nohost.me/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
