Oasis Worship, Randy Rothwell - Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee Lyrics

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flow'rs 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!

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,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in Thee!

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