Joy! Joy! Joy!

Joy! Joy! Joy!
New life is in the air!
Good times are fast approaching!
The wind has news to share!
Forgotten is my sorrow.
Forgotten is my grief.
Today was once tomorrow,
The bud is now a leaf!

Joy! Joy! Joy!
Vibrating through my veins!
The snow and ice of winter
Are washed away with rains!
Now the sun is shining!
Now the days are long!
I will not try denying
My voice from joyous song!

But do we praise the painting?
Did the world create itself?
Oh! Joy! Joy! Joy!
Joyful be the sunrise
And joyful be its setting,
But blessed be the Son
Whom we keep on forgetting.
