Spring up, o well!
Spring up, o well!
You turn my mourning
Into joy, my mourning into joy
You break depression!
You turn my mourning into joy!
O Jesus, you break depression
You break depression!

Let freedom reign!
Let freedom reign!
Let freedom reign!
Break off the change!
Break off the change!
Let freedom reign!

Joy, joy, joy
Overflowing joy
Overflowing joy
Overflowing joy that breaks depression
That breaks depression!
Overflowing joy!
The joy of the lord, the joy of the lord
