Lyrics:

Joy, bright spark of divinity,
Daughter of Elysium,
Fire-inspired we tread
Thy sanctuary.

Magic power re-unites
All that custom has divided,
All men become brothers
Under the sway of thy gentle wings.

Joy, bright spark of divinity,
Daughter of Elysium,
Fire-inspired we tread
Thy sanctuary.

Magic power re-unites
All that custom has divided,
All men become brothers
Under the sway of thy gentle wings.

All the creatures drink of joy
At nature's breast.
Just and unjust
Alike taste of her gift;

Gladly, like the heavenly bodies
Which He set on their courses
Thus, brothers, you should run your race,
As a hero going to conquest.
