Ĝoju la mondo!

Representative Text

1. Ĝoju la mondo: venis jam al tero la Sinjor'!
Lin bonvenigu ĉiu kun ĝojo kaj kun amo:
Jubilu ĉiu kor'! Jubilu ĉiu kor'!
Jubilu, jubilu ĉiu kor'!

2. Ĝoju la ter'! alvenis jen Jesu', la Mondsavant'.
De bestoj kaj de homoj, de monto kaj baseno,
Resonu ĝoja kant'! Resonu ĝoja kant'!
Resonu, resonu ĝoja kant'!

3. Pekoj kaj ĝen' ne kresku plu, nek dornoj piku nin,
Ĉar homojn beni venis Mesio, Krist' Jesuo,
Sen limo kaj sen fin'! Sen limo kaj sen fin'!
Sen limo, sen limo kaj sen fin'!

4. Teron li regas per la grac', per vero kaj inspir'!
La gentojn li algvidas al justo kaj al paco,
Al amo kaj al mir'! Al amo kaj al mir'!
Al amo, al amo kaj al mir'!
