Joy, joy, through all the land

1 Joy, joy, through all the land,
For winter's reign is o'er;
Spring leads her lovely band
From hill to river shore.
Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome joyous spring,
Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome joyous spring.

2 Adieu, O wintry storm!
Blue are the sunny skies;
And in the sunshine warm,
A thousand blossoms rise.
Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome joyous spring,
Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome joyous spring.

3 Blest be the happy land,
With snows or verdure strown,
Long mark'd by God's own hand,
As Freedom's chosen throne.
Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome joyous spring,
Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome joyous spring.

4 And bless'd the God who sends
The changing seasons play;
And gives, when winter ends,
The merry hours of May.
Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome joyous spring,
Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome joyous spring.
