Joyful Joyful
Lauryn Hill · Other Songs - Lauryn Hill
God of glory, lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before thee
Hail thee as the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of the immortal gladness
Fill us with the light, fill us with the light of day....
(repeat)
Come and Join the chorus the mighty mighty chorus
which the morning stars began! The father of love is
reigning over us. He watches over everything, so we sing:
Joyful Joyful lord we adore thee
God of glory, lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before thee
Hail thee as the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of the immortal gladness
Fill us with the light, fill us wiht the light of day
so i had to something
Joyful Joyful
