Lauryn Hill - Joyful Joyful Lyrics

[Lauryn]
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

[Beat Starts]

[Chorus: Choir]
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, 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

[Rapper 1]
Check the rhyme
Joyful, joyful
Lord we adore Thee
And in my life I put none before Thee
'Cos since I was a youngster I came to know
That you were the only way to go

[Rapper 2]
So I had to grow and I come to an understanding
And I'm down with the King
So no-one commanded
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?

[Choir]
Yeah, you know me

[Rapper 1]
You down with G.O.D?

[Choir]
Yeah, you know me

[Rapper 2]
You down with G.O.D?

[Choir]
Yeah, you know me

[Rapper 1 & 2]
You down with G.O.D?

[Choir]
Everybody

[Lauryn and Girls]
Join the mighty chorus
The mighty, mighty chorus
Which the morning stars begun
The Father of Love is reigning over us

[Choir]
By the way!
What have you done for Him lately
Ooooh yeah (Oh)
What have you done for Him lately
He watches over everything
So we sing!

[Repeat Chorus by Choir with Lauryn's ad-libs]

[Choir with (Girls, Boys, Lauryn's Vocals)]
Fill us (Fill us with the light of day Lord, oh fill

Fill us (Oh we need you yes we do, ooh fill us)
Fill us (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Fill us (With the light of day Lord)
Fill us (With the light of day Lord)
