Behold, the heavens blaze in light,
A symphony of stars unite,
From distant realms where spirits fly,
Their voices lift, the world awry.
O Joy, thou radiant flame divine,
Unfurl thy wings, O spark benign!
In every heart, a beacon gleams,
In every soul, a thousand dreams.
O boundless sky, eternal sea,
Thy waves of joy enfold the free.
In harmony, all nations rise,
Together reach the boundless skies!
We sing as one, the hymn of man,
No walls, no chains, no borders can
Divide us from the light we chase,
The glory of the human race.
Thou art the thread in time’s great loom,
The stars, they dance, dispel all gloom.
O Joy, thy power makes us whole,
Unites the world, each living soul.
From dust to stars, we dare to climb,
We conquer both the earth and time.
In Joy, we find our strength reborn,
A dawn that breaks the endless morn.
O brothers, sisters, raise your voice,
In boundless Joy, we shall rejoice!
Through every storm, through every fight,
O Joy, thy song brings forth the light.
