Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee

This is the most joyful hymn I know of.  With wonderful lyrics and music by Beethoven, it is fun to sing and play as a Chords and Melody piece, as well as a nice challenge using both versions included in the lesson. It is also interesting to listen to what would seem to be a fairly basic melody interwoven with harmonies and chords by a great composer and transformed into an unforgettable hymn of the Christian faith. It can be played any time of year, and is very popular for weddings.
