Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee is one of the most exuberant hymns in modern worship. Set to the melody of Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy,” it blends timeless classical energy with joyful praise. Written in 1907 by Henry van Dyke, the text celebrates God’s glory reflected in nature, love, and community.

This brass quintet arrangement brings the same spirit—bursting with rhythm, bright harmonies, and a forward-moving pulse that feels like the musical embodiment of joy.
