Hymn of Joy
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Hymnal: One in Faith #469 (2015) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Alleluia! Alleluia! Lyrics: 1 Alleluia! Alleluia!
Hearts and voices heav'nward raise:
Sing to God a hymn of gladness,
Sing to God a hymn of praise.
Christ, who on the cross a victim,
For the world's salvation bled,
Jesus Christ, the King of glory,
Now is risen from the dead.
2 Now the iron bars are broken,
Christ from death to life is born,
Glorious life and life immortal,
On that holy Easter morn.
Christ has triumphed, and we conquer
By this mighty enterprise,
We with Christ to life eternal
By his resurrection rise.
3 Christ is risen, we are risen!
Shed upon us heav'nly grace,
Rain and dew and gleams of glory
From your holy radiant face;
That, with hearts in heaven dwelling,
We on earth, your servants true,
Will by angel hands be gathered,
And be ever, Lord, with you.
4 Alleluia! Alleluia!
Glory be to God on high;
Alleluia to the Savior
Who have won the victory;
Alleluia to the Spirit,
Fount of love and sanctity;
Alleluia! Alleluia!

Hymn of Joy
Joy, Thou Goddess
Author: Friedrich Schiller, 1759-1805 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #327 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Joy, thou goddess, fair immortal Lyrics: 2 Joy, thou goddess, fair immortal,
offspring of Elysium,
mad with rapture, to the portal
of thy holy fane we come!
Fashion’s laws, indeed, may sever,
but thy magic joins again;
humankind is one forever
‘neath thy mild and gentle reign.
2 Joy, in nature’s wide dominion,
mightiest cause of all is found;
and ‘tis joy that moves the pinion,
when the wheel of time goes round;
from the bud she lures the flower,
suns from out their orbs of light;
distant spheres obey her power,
far beyond all mortal sight.

1 Freude, schóner Götterfunken,
Tochter aus Elysium,
wir betreten feuertrunken,
himmlische, dein Heiligtum.
Deine Zauber binden wieder,
was die Mode streng geteilt,
alle Menschen werden Brúder,
wo dein sanfter Flúgel weilt.
2 Freude heiefst die starke Feder
in der ewigen Natur.
Freude, Freude treibt die Ráder
in der grossen Weltenuhr.
Blumen lockt sie ausden Keimen,
Sonnen aus dem Firmament,
Spháren rollt sie in den Raumen,
die des Sehers Rohr nicht kennt. Topics: Humanist Teachings Beauty, Truth, and Goodness; God, Goddess, and Spirit; Humankind; Joy; Pagan Languages: English; German Tune Title: HYMN TO JOY

By God's liberating deed;

To eternal life shall lead.

Here on earth may fruitful be,
And by angel hands be gathered,
And be Yours eternally.
