\nSondern lasst uns
\nAngenehmere anstimmen
\nUnd freudenvollere.Baritone & Chorus<\/strong>
\nFreude, sch\u00f6ner G\u00f6tterfunken<\/span>,
\nTochter aus Elysium,

\nWo dein sanfter Fl\u00fcgel weilt.Quartet & Chorus<\/strong>
\nWem der grosse Wurf gelungen
\nEines freundes Freund zu sein,
\nwer ein holdes Weib errungen,
\nmische seinen Jubel ein!
\nJa, wer auch nur eine Seele
\nsein nennt auf dem Erdenrund!
\nUnd wer\u2019s nie gekonnt, der stehle weinend sich aus diesem Bund!
\nFreude trinken alle Wesen
\nan den Brusten der Natur,
\nalle Guten, alle B\u00f6sen
\nfolgen ihre Rosenspur.
\nK\u00fc\u00dfe gab sie uns und Reben,
\neinen Freund, gepr\u00fcft im Tod;
\nWollust ward dem Wurm gegeben, und
\nder Cherub steht vor Gott!Tenor & Chorus<\/strong>
\nFroh, wie seine Sonnen<\/span> fliegen
\ndurch des Himmels pr\u00e4cht\u2019gen Plan\u00a0laufet, Br\u00fcder, eure Bahn,
\nfreudig wie ein Held zum Siegen.<\/p>\n

\nOh Friends, not these sounds!
\nBut let us strike up\u00a0sweet tones
\nfull of joy!Baritone & Chorus<\/strong>
\nFrom the beautiful Divine Sparks<\/span>
\ncomes Joy, the Daughter of Heaven.
\nSouls ablaze, in a heavenly state
\nwe enter your Holy Place.
\nYour enchantment reunites
\nall that Habit has bitterly sundered.
\nAll people will become Brothers
\nwherever your gentle wings spread.Quartet & Chorus<\/strong>
\nWhoever has made the great leap
\nto become a Holy Brother,
\nwhoever has been rewarded with a gracious Spouse,
\nalloy your Joy with ours!
\nYes, all of you who can call one other soul on this earth \u201cyourself\u201d!
\nAnd those who were unable to do this,
\nshould steal away in mourning from this union!
\nAll beings drink joy from Nature\u2019s breast,
\nall the good ones, all the bad ones
\nfollow their own rosy path.
\nShe gave us kisses and vines,
\na friend, proven beyond death;
\nLust for Life was given to the Worm,
\nbut the Cherub stands before God!<\/p>\n

Tenor & Chorus<\/strong>
\nJoyfully, like His stars<\/span> fly
\nthrough Heaven\u2019s splendid design,
\nBrothers, walk your path with Joy
\nlike a Hero on his way to victory.<\/p>\n
