Lauryn Hill - Joyful, Joyful Lyrics






Joyful, joyful
Lord we adore Thee
God of Glory, Lord of Love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Hail Thee as 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
Fill us with the light
Oh, fill us with the light of day

Joyful, joyful
Lord we adore Thee
God of Glory, Lord of Love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Clearly as the sun above

Melt the clouds of sin, sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Drive it away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us
Fill us with the light of day
Light of day

Check the rhyme
What's up?
Joyful, joyful
Lord we adore Thee
And in my life I put none before Thee
Since I was a youngster I came to know
That you were the only way to go

So I had to grow and I come to an understanding
And I'm down with the King
So now I'm demanding
That you tell me "Who you down with?" see
All I know is that I'm down with G.O.D.
You down with G.O.D.?

Yeah, you know me
You down with G.O.D.?
Yeah, you know me
You down with G.O.D.?
Yeah, you know me
Who's down with G.O.D.?
Everybody

Come and join the chorus
The mighty, mighty chorus
Which the morning stars began
The Father of Love is reigning over us

By the way!
What have you done for Him lately
What have you done for Him lately
He watches over everything
So we sing!

Joyful, joyful
Lord we adore Thee
God of Glory, Lord of Love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Hail Thee as 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
Fill us with the light
Oh, fill us with the light of day

Fill us (Fill us with the light of day Lord, oh fill
Us)
Fill us (Oh we need you yes we do, ooh fill us)
Fill us

Fill us (With the light of day Lord)
Fill us (Fill us as we pray, Lord)
Fill us (With the light of day Lord)

Fill us (We need you, we need you to pray, we need
You, need you today)
Fill us (We need you I'm gonna say)
Fill us (Fill us, fill us, fill us, fill us!)

Fill us
Fill us with the light of day
Light of day!

    I'm an 80s baby 90s kid and i remember when Sister Act came out..i mean it was amazing but when Sister Act 2 came out it was outstanding! The talent in both the movies are phenomenal! Truly blessed to have experienced the 90s. When movies/parts like this had children/teens wanting to have faith plus go to church and be proud of praising/worshiping the Lord! Seriously what a blessing!




    **all week though i've been on a Whoopi movie kick lol..i first started with Corrina,Corrina now i'm on to Sister Act 1&2!

  22. e.... o....

    The vocals at 2:27 gives me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes, the entire song infact

    Old but gold in 2020, and I was born in 2000 way after it was out. Definitely in my top 5 movies ever because I used to repeat it so much

    e.... o....

    i would be too shy to be a part of anything like this but it looks so fun lol

    j.... j....

    As long as you're singing from the heart for God and Jesus you won't be. All your fears will melt a way. I'm not the best singer but when you sing about The Most High you don't think about how you look or how others look at you, you think about him and your love for him and your praise for him. ❤

    j.... j....

    @Smallville totally agree with u with Gods Presence.u can do anything and hit ur goals.i was not a great singer But with practice and Gods help.hit the notes know God works in WOUNDERFUL ways just gotta belive.keep the faith

  73. J.... N....

    I miss the old times..... im proud catholic... i think the world needs more of this kind of movie... it gives a lot of values, cathechist and active participation to society in the midst of modern age when youth are busy in thier gadgets instead of going out and find a genuine relationship among people 😁

    J.... N....

    Yaya my God Brother gotta agree with u

  74. N.... B....

    I went Catholic schools until 7th grade. Our teachers were Dominican nuns mostly, with a few "Lay" Teachers. I remember everyone of them and I'm 70yo now. They were strict, but could be a lot of fun, especially on the playground.

    N.... B....

    I sang in the choir and we were directed by our music nuns, who also taught in class. They were the best teachers I ever had in school!

  75. �.... ....

    この映画を見てゴスペルを好きになった。そして、留学でホストファミリーのマッチングをするとき「ゴスペルが好きです」と記載した結果、熱心なキリスト教徒の家族と出会うことになった。彼らはとても賑やかで明るくて、私の人生には無かった色をくれた…。私の進路まで一緒に考えてくれた。私は何がしたかったのか明確になった。今はその夢のために勉強している。
    2年経つ今でも連絡を取っている。
    映画1本で人生変わったな。まだまだこれからだろうけれども!
