    From the midst of earths creation
    From the quiet dawn of time
    From the heavens constellation
    came the bund of love sublime
    Human kindnesses overflowing
    Swirling from the realms above
    Let us brace the G-d of all
    who graced us with His gift of love
    Joyful joyful we adore Thee
    G-d of glory Lord of love
    Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
    Opening to the sun and sky
    Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
    Drive the dark of doubt away
    Giver of immortal gladness
    Fill us with the light of day
    All Thy works with joy surround Thee
    Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays
    Stars and angels sing around Thee
    Center of unbroken praise
    Field and forest vale and mountain
    Flowery meadow flashing sea
    Chatting bird and flowing fountain
    Call us to rejoice in Thee
    Thou art giving and forgiving
    Ever blessing ever blest
    Wellspring of the joy of living
    Ocean depth of happy rest
    All our sisters all our brothers
    All who live in love are Thine
    Teach us how to love each other
    Lift us to the joy divine
    The joy divine the joy divine
    Oh lift us to the joy divine
    Mortals join the mighty chorus
    Which the morning stars began
    Love divine is raining on us
    Binding all within His span
    Ever singing march we onward
    victors in the midst of strife
    joyful music lifts us sunward
    in the triumph song of life
    The song of life the song of life
    Oh join us in the song of life
    Joyful joyful we adore Thee
    G-d of glory Lord of love
    Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
    Opening to the sun above
    Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
    Drive the dark of doubt away
    Giver of immortal gladness
    Giver of light ahhhhh ???

    I took all three existing videos of this singular performance (2x) and the rehearsal. Taking the difference in recording lengths and some careful timing... I got all 3 videos synced together on the same keynotes and oh my Lord in Heaven.....literally take that beautiful sound and amplify it 3 fold?????? If the heavenly gates sound half that beautiful I will cry the most beautiful of tears. I love to play with audio sync such as this and to do this one was pure joy and beauty. though there were small details that separated the sounds it still made for pure beauty

    “Glory glory we adore thee God of mercy Lord of love. Hearts unfold like flowers before thee, opening to the Son above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, drive the dark of doubt away. Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day.”
    Wow! Mr, Beethoven, the intense emotion that dwelt in your heart must have been difficult to contain. Especially since you had to channel to the outside world via a connection frustrated by infirmity.
