Joy

joy

im­mor­tal joy!

The Lord is ris’n to reign;

On East­er day

the Scrip­tures say

Christ rose to life again.

On East­er day

the Scrip­tures say

Christ rose to life again.

Joy

deep and liv­ing joy!

The stone is rolled away;

The emp­ty tomb has lost its gloom

The night has turned to day.

The emp­ty tomb hast lost its gloom

The night has turned to day.

Joy

pure and sacr­ed joy!

Let men and an­gels sing;

Let ev­ery voice in song re­joice

To praise our Lord and king.

Let ev­ery voice in song re­joice

To praise our Lord and king.

Joy

rich and end­less joy!

High Heav’n the praise pro­long;

Let ho­ly joy all tongues em­ploy

And fill the world with song.

Let ho­ly joy all tongues em­ploy

And fill the world with song.
