Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You | Traditional Hymn of Praise | Choir w/ Lyrics | HYMN TO JOY

“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.
