Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
快樂,快樂,我們敬拜
God of glory, Lord of love;
榮耀之神、愛之主;
Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee,
到主面前,心如花開;
Opening to the sun above.
主如旭日,光耀目。
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
愁雲罪霧,求主消去;
Drive the dark of doubt away;
疑惑黑蔭求散開;
Giver of immortal gladness,
永遠快樂,求主賜予,
Fill us with the light of day!
旭日光輝滿我懷!

All Thy works with joy surround Thee,
主的造物全都歡樂,
Earth and heav’n reflect Thy rays,
天地反映主光輝,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
群星、天使,圍繞謳歌,
Center of unbroken praise.
不斷向祂獻讚美。
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
高山、幽谷、森林、平原,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
草場青翠、波平靜,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
清歌小鳥,輕注流泉,
Call us to rejoice in Thee.
感動我心樂無盡。

Thou art giving and forgiving,
主既施恩,又施赦免,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
永遠賜福,我敬愛;
Wellspring of the joy of living,
生活喜樂,活水泉源,
Ocean depth of happy rest!
歡樂、安息似深海!
Thou our Father, Christ our Brother—
神是我父,基督我兄,
All who live in love are Thine;
凡活愛裏皆主民;
Teach us how to love each other,
指教我們愛裏交通,
Lift us to the joy divine.
同享神聖的歡欣。

Mortals join the mighty chorus
晨星引發頌主歌聲,
Which the morning stars began;
凡有氣息都唱和;
Father love is reigning o’er us,
父的慈愛掌管眾聖,
Brother love binds man to man.
愛心把我們聯合。
Ever singing, march we onward,
我們前進,歌唱不停,
Victors in the midst of strife;
爭戰中的得勝者;
Joyful music leads us sunward
喜樂頌領我們前行,
In the triumph song of life.
高唱生命的凱歌。
