Song: Joyful, Joyful – CCLI# 25321
Joyful, joyful, we adore thee, God of glory, Lord of Love
Hearts unfold like flowers before thee, praising Thee their 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, blooming meadow, flashing sea
Chanting bird and flowing fountain call us to rejoice in thee
Benediction: 2 Peter 1:2
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord
