"Ode to Joy"
Lyrics by Schiller
Music by Ludwig van Beethoven
Joy, thou source of light immortal,
Daughter of Elysium,
Touched with fire to the portal
of thy radiant shrine we come.
Thy pure magic frees all others
held in custom's rigid ring,
Men throughout the world are brothers
in the haven of thy wings.
