  • Summary

  • In this special Advent episode of HIS Story Through Hymns, we begin our journey through hymns of joy, hope, and celebration as we anticipate the coming of Christ. This week, we’re diving into the uplifting hymn Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee, written by Henry van Dyke and set to Beethoven’s timeless Ode to Joy.


    Join me as we explore the rich history behind this hymn, including the powerful scriptural connections that fill its lyrics with deep meaning. I’ll also share a personal memory of this hymn from the ’90s movie Sister Act 2, and together, we’ll discover how this hymn brings us into a deeper sense of worship during the Advent season.


    To close, I’m featuring a beautiful rendition of Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee by JJ Heller. Listeners have described it as peaceful, joyful, and a refreshing take on this classic. Don’t miss this chance to reflect on the true joy that comes with knowing Christ.
