Joy thou beauteous godly lightningA
Daughter of ElysiumB
Fire drunken we are ent ringA
Heavenly thy holy homeC
Thy enchantments bind togetherD
What did custom stern divideE
Every man becomes a brotherD
Where thy gentle wings abideE
-
ChorusF
Be embrac d ye millions yonderD
Take this kiss throughout the worldG
Brothers o er the stars unfurl dH
Must reside a loving FatherD
-
Who the noble prize achievethI
Good friend of a friend to beH
Who a lovely wife attainethI
Join us in his jubileeH
Yes he too who but one beingA
On this earth can call his ownJ
He who ne er was able weepingA
Stealeth from this league aloneJ
-
ChorusF
He who in the great ring dwellethI
Homage pays to sympathyI
To the stars above leads sheI
Where on high the Unknown reignethI
-
Joy is drunk by every beingA
From kind nature s flowing breastsK
Every evil every good thingA
For her rosy footprint questsK
Gave she us both vines and kissesL
In the face of death a friendM
To the worm were given blissesL
And the Cherubs God attendM
-
ChorusL
Fall before him all ye millionsL
Know st thou the Creator worldG
Seek above the stars unfurl dI
Yonder dwells He in the heavensL
-
Joy commands the hardy mainspringA
Of the universe eterneJ
Joy oh joy the wheel is drivingA
Which the worlds great clock doth turnJ
Flowers from the buds she coaxesL
Suns from out the hyalineJ
Spheres she rotates through expansesL
Which the seer can t divineJ
-
ChorusL
As the suns are flying happyI
Through the heaven s glorious planeJ
Travel brothers down your laneJ
Joyful as in hero s vict ryD
-
From the truth s own fiery mirrorD
On the searcher doth she smileN
Up the steep incline of honorD
Guideth she the suff rer s mileN
High upon faith s sunlit mountainsL
One can see her banner fliesL
Through the breach of open d coffinsL
She in angel s choir doth riseL
-
ChorusL
Suffer on courageous millionsL
Suffer for a better worldG
O er the tent of stars unfurl dI
God rewards you from the heavensL
-
Gods can never be requitedI
Beauteous tis their like to beI
Grief and want shall be reportedI
So to cheer with gaietyI
Hate and vengeance be forgottenJ
Pardon d be our mortal foeO
Not a teardrop shall him dampenJ
No repentance bring him lowO
-
ChorusL
Let our book of debts be cancell dI
Reconcile the total worldI
Brothers o er the stars unfurl dI
God doth judge as we have settl dI
-
Joy doth bubble from this rummerD
From the golden blood of grapeP
Cannibals imbibe good temperD
Weak of heart their courage takeA
Brothers fly up from thy placesL
When the brimming cup doth passL
Let the foam shoot up in spacesL
To the goodly Soul this glassL
-
ChorusL
Whom the crown of stars doth honorD
Whom the hymns of Seraphs blessL
To the goodly Soul this glassL
O er the tent of stars up yonderD
-
Courage firm in grievous trialQ
Help where innocence doth screamR
Oaths which sworn to are eternalQ
Truth to friend and foe the sameS
Manly pride fore kingly powerD
Brothers cost it life and bloodI
Honor to whom merits honorD
Ruin to the lying broodI
-
ChorusL
Closer draw the holy circleQ
Swear it by this golden wineJ
Faithful to the vow divineJ
Swear it by the Judge celestialQ
-
Rescue from the tyrant s fettersL
Mercy to the villain e enJ
Hope within the dying hoursL
Pardon at the guillotineJ
E en the dead shall live in heavenJ
Brothers drink and all agreeD
Every sin shall be forgivenJ
Hell forever cease to beD
-
ChorusL
A serene departing hourD
Pleasant sleep beneath the pallT
Brothers gentle words for allU
Doth the Judge of mortals utterD

Friedrich Schiller
