O rejoice, all Christians, loudly, for our joy has now begun; wondrous things our God has done. Tell abroad his goodness proudly, who our race has honored thus, that he has befriended us. [Refrain] Joy, O joy, beyond all gladness! Christ has done away with sadness! Hence, all sorrow and repining, for the Sun of grace is shining! See, my soul, your Savior chooses poverty and weakness, too; in such love he comes to you. Neither crib nor cross refuses, all he suffers for your good to redeem you by his blood. [Refrain] Joy, O joy, beyond all gladness! Christ has done away with sadness! Hence, all sorrow and repining, for the Sun of grace is shining! Lord, how shall I thank you rightly? I am saved eternally by your life and death for me. Let me not forget it lightly but with all my heart believe that from you I shall receive. [Refrain] Joy, O joy, beyond all gladness! Christ has done away with sadness! Hence, all sorrow and repining, for the Sun of grace is shining! Jesus, guard and guide your members, fill them with your boundless grace, hear their prayers in ev'ry place. Fan to life faith's glowing embers; grant all Christians far and near, holy peace, a glad new year. [Refrain] Joy, O joy, beyond all gladness! Christ has done away with sadness!
