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! All Thy works with joy surround Thee, Earth and heav’n reflect Thy rays, Stars and angels sing around Thee, Center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, Flow’ry meadow, flashing sea, Singing bird and flowing fountain Call us to rejoice in Thee. Thou art giving and forgiving, Ever blessing, ever blest, Wellspring of the joy of living, Ocean depth of happy rest! Thou our Father, Christ our Brother, All who live in love are Thine; Teach us how to love each other, Lift us to the joy divine. Mortals, join the happy chorus, Which the morning stars began; Father love is reigning o’er us, Brother love binds man to man. Ever singing, march we onward, Victors in the midst of strife, Joyful music leads us Sunward In the triumph song of life.

I love this sound, my Law assignment due, my computer crashing on me, I need peace of mind. This is how I am bless during chaos. Thank you for original sound.
One of my favorite hymns beside Christ the Lord is Risen Today. I love the ones where the proper singing volume is "as loud as possible" because they're so upbeat it's impossible to sing them any other way. :)
We just sang two verses of this hymn ending Mass today. I'm going to get an earpiece with my phone and play this quietly in the pew as I pray to the Son of God at Eucharistic Adoration next month. I think it would please Jesus.
THis presentation is excellent but check out the one by Andre Rieu I think it was his concert in Mastritch talk about standing and singing at the top of your lungs. Bravo to all who bring music to the people of earth so we can PRAISE Our CREATOR. Pax+
Just heard this song today when I hooked on to our church The Apostolic Faith Church in Portland Oregon. I'm so thrilled to hear the words of the song. God is faithful.
very powerful, it nudges the intuitive knowledge of a universal consciousness that we ought to be aware of every minute, the manifester of all things, never discriminating, never judging, never intervening in the actions of the finite bodies and minds, never born, never dying, awaiting the end of its confusion and identity with the 'I' until its release back to the source of peace, unknowing, and love.
Not the Love in God brought me here, but the believe in God of Love, Light and Creation. It is a perfect tune for celebration and it has the charge to share and deliver the Joy flowing from and radiating to our Hearts.
National Anthem of the EU But bring tears to anyone who loves music inspired by GOD and dictated to the great masters in this case Beethoven. Can you imagine when Betthoven passed on and went up what HE did. I bet HE came down from HIS chair embraced him and said the greatest words a Father can say to a child, Well Done My SON, Well DONE. Pax+
Oh Lord God! Thank you for making Ludwig van Beethoven with fantastic music talent and making one who jaf translated the lyrics to English with such a talent.
Exactly. There are many lyrical interpretations of Ode to Joy. Peter Seeger does a kind of secular version. They are all wonderful, using this magnificent piece of music. Hopefully there will be many more over the centuries to come.
Ode to Joy is wrapped around 528hz solfeggio frequency, which is the love frequency. NASA says the sun radiates 528, as do the bees and some birds. Dolphins must have a connection as they emanate joy. Truly His handiwork will praise Him if man won't, sadly.True praise is objective.......
penso no grande dia em que céus e terra serão a mesma grei, onde milhares e milhares estarão louvando Aquele que É Rei dos reis e Senhor dos senhores!!!!
Just listen to the original then. Ode to Joy is not a christian hymn. The original german text by Friedrich Schiller does not contain a reference to Christ. It is intentionally more universal en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ode_to_Joy ua-cam.com/video/U14iJzdPtWI/v-deo.html
Nah, they'd never let us back in. They'd have to offer us all our opt-outs and rebates plus some sweeteners for us to even consider it. And fanatics like Verhofstadt will never allow that.
Beautiful rendition. The joy of the LORD Jesus remains the strength of the righteous. For out of the mouth of babes and sucklings, God has ordained strength to avenge the enemy and seal the mouth of the wicked!
Aware presence is in us all, pristine, unblemished, none - judgemental, the silent watcher. There is no enemy, nothing is good or bad, it just is, everything in the cosmos is connected, when something happens it is because it can be no other way, acceptance of what is in place of dogma and bigotry brings peace. The great teachers, Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Sri Ramana Maharshi, could never teach the state of enlightenment, they could only give glimpses which the powerful decided to 'organize' and debase. It was from this frustration that Jesus said, ''They have eyes but cannot see, they have ears but cannot hear, they do not understand''. Religions have made a mockery of the great teachings, they were only meant as pointers, the truth is for you yourself to find, it sits still waiting in you (the kingdom of heaven is not here or over there it is within you) beyond the ego, beyond the artificial 'me'.
beautiful!this is how this hymn should be done, men and women doing their bits and all praising our wonderous god. he surely inhabits the praises of his people, I could tell the holy spirit was present here, it sends a cold shiver down you to hear this glorious hymn!thank you for posting this beautiful piece. bobby whitaker
I'd be absolutely be fine with getting rid of Christian holidays, abolish them and create proper secular days of celebration. Destroy the modern idol of capitalism that is todays Christmas.
A very Christian outlook ladiesman181002. There are many who don't believe in an invisible omnipotent deity in the sky who are more compassionate than many a Christian. When I was teaching, a Muslim girl was being pestered because of her hijab. I soon put a stop to that. I would always defend her rights despite me not agreeing with organised religion. That doesn't make me any better or worse than believers but definitely better than those who discriminate. May your God go with you.
People from all over the globe assemble to sing an ode of joy and there were not sparks, no fights. This scene is a testament to humanity's ability to act as one. Beethoven's 9th whence this hymn did flow is to thank for that.
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (September 7, Pentecost 13), we sang this as our Closing Hymn. Ditto for me as I filled in at a local Lutheran Church. It is #836 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.
"Wellspring of the joy of living" those profound words reached through time and touched me right in this moment. I know what the author is talling about 😊❤
Taking a walk in the forest on a Sunday morning, Beethoven returned early to his house. He said to his house-keeper the famous words...."Ich habe es" = "I have it" He heard this majestic theme in the forest and came back to write it down. He had been looking for a theme for his 4th movement, and this how the Ode to Joy was born......
🇪🇺Our European Union Anthem🇪🇺 One of the beautifullest Anthems of the World. Bringing us europeans all together no matter what Religion or what part of Europe we're coming from. Peace to all my european sisters and brothers. Thank you van Beethoven for our wonderful european hymna.❤️🇪🇺

Except that his words do not translate as these words.
"Ode to Joy"
Joy, beautiful spark of Divinity [or: of gods],
Daughter of Elysium,
We enter, drunk with fire,
Heavenly one, thy sanctuary!
Thy magic binds again
What custom strictly divided;*
All people become brothers,*
Where thy gentle wing abides.
Whoever has succeeded in the great attempt,
To be a friend's friend,
Whoever has won a lovely woman,
Add his to the jubilation!
Yes, and also whoever has just one soul
To call his own in this world!
And he who never managed it should slink
Weeping from this union!
All creatures drink of joy
At nature's breasts.
All the Just, all the Evil
Follow her trail of roses.
Kisses she gave us and grapevines,
A friend, proven in death.
Salaciousness was given to the worm
And the cherub stands before God.
Gladly, as His suns fly
through the heavens' grand plan
Go on, brothers, your way,
Joyful, like a hero to victory.
Be embraced, Millions!
This kiss to all the world!
Brothers, above the starry canopy
There must dwell a loving Father.
Are you collapsing, millions?
Do you sense the creator, world?
Seek him above the starry canopy!
Above stars must He dwell.

If these are the praises on earth, can you imagine the joy of the praises in heaven before our Lord and Saviour??????
Patricia Clark no, we can’t...
We can live in harmony
Tried to imagine this while watching. The tears are streaming!
When we've been there 10,000 years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days
To sin God's praise
Than when we first begun
❤️
Somehow I know that when we gather round God's throne and sing praises to the king we are going to be blown away.

Can we command The Most Loving and The Most Powerful God with the word "PLEASE?"
For example: "Teach us how to love each other."
Can we make this imperative sentence into subjunctive sentence? "Please teach us how to love each other."
I am thinking of talking to the people in the public places.
Public speakers usually say:
"Please fasten your seatbelt!"
"Please turn off your beepers and cellphones!"
"Please don't disturb!"

He is More Important and Most Powerful than any human in this world.

Exactly. There are many lyrical interpretations of Ode to Joy. Peter Seeger does a kind of secular version. They are all wonderful, using this magnificent piece of music. Hopefully there will be many more over the centuries to come.
I thoroughly enjoy both, as well as Mozart's K222, which may/may not have provided the launch point for Beethoven's "Joy" theme.
It's very simple. This is NOT "Ode to Joy". It is a hymn which uses the MUSIC from "Ode to Joy", but it is not "Ode to Joy".
@@protoborg Agreed. It began as a secular poem, if I recall right. Beethoven: _"hold my beer..."_

He said to his house-keeper the famous words...."Ich habe es" = "I have it" He heard this majestic theme in the forest and came back to write it down. He had been looking for a theme for his 4th movement, and this how the Ode to Joy was born......
"LIFT US TO THE JOY DIVINE!" TRULY AMAZING COMPOSITION AND RENDITION. THANKS. 💓🌷💖
