The joy of the Lord erupts in golden roar,
A wildfire feast that no darkness can tame!
It storms the gates of grief and breaks the door,
And every captive heart cries out His name.

No valley deep enough to drown its blaze,
No mountain high enough to block its flight—
It leaps across the years, through endless days,
A banner blazing brighter than the light!

We rise on wings of laughter, fierce and free,
Our feet crush sorrow underneath our dance;
The enemy retreats in trembling plea
While heaven joins our shout of vast expanse.

O joy invincible, our strength, our crown—
In Thee we triumph, and all creation bows down!
