Ode to Joy
Now is where I ask what do we do to bring it on home? For me we just need to embrace Joy.
Here’s Beethoven’s Ode to Joy played on the Hammered Dulcimer by YouTube’s dulcimermonk.
Just listen or reflect on the lyrics.
Joyful, joyful
We adore Thee
God of glory
Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Hail Thee 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
With light
With light
Mortals join the mighty 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 lifts us Son ward
In the triumph song of life
Can we embrace it, return it to him and watch it grow? Pay it forward, bring joy to someone, not just happiness. Can you protect someone? Can you help make them stronger?
