JOYFUL JOYFUL Lyrics – Joshua Aaron
Joyful Joyful in Hebrew & English
JOYFUL JOYFUL – LYRICS
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
Be’simch nehalelecha, el shofea rachamim
Kiprachim kol libotenu lefanecha niftachim
Ananei hatchet ha’ames na, afelat safek mi’thom
Hatzifeinu osher netzach, u’malenu zohar yom
Besimcha yesovevucha pa’alecha hagdolim
Eretz, yam, utchol rakia, kochavim u’malachim
Nir va’yaar, guy vageva, chol midbar u’mey hayam
Shir tzipor hemyat maboa- ye’shabchu shimcha haram
Mortals, join the mighty chorus
Which the morning stars began
God’s own love is reigning o’er us
Joining people hand in hand
Ever singing, march we onward
Victors in the midst of strife
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee
Op’ning to the sun above
Sung by Joshua Aaron and Shilo Ben Hod
