Ode to Joy (Joyful, Joyful)
Beethoven's great tune with the hymn words "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee", for 2 to 4 singers: the soprano sings the melody, the alto moves beneath it, the bass holds the roots on "oo", and the tenor fills the chord. Steady and bright.

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