"The Hymn of Joy" (often called "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee" after the first line) is a poem written by Henry van Dyke in 1907 with the intention of musically setting it to the famous "Ode to Joy" melody of the final movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's final symphony, Symphony No. 9.〔Rev. Corey F. O'Brien, "(November 9, 2008 sermon )" at North Prospect Union United Church of Christ in Medford.〕 Van Dyke wrote this poem in 1907 while staying at the home of Williams College president Harry Augustus Garfield. He was serving as a guest preacher at Williams at the time. He told his host that the local Berkshire Mountains had been his inspiration.〔 The lyrics were first published in 1911 in Van Dyke's ''Book of Poems'', Third Edition. Van Dyke wrote of this hymn:
"This hymn is generally considered by hymnologists to be one of the most joyous expressions of hymn lyrics in the English language."〔 == Notable Recordings == Amy Grant recorded the song, which appears on her 2005 studio album ''Rock of Ages... Hymns and Faith''. This version later appeared on her 2015 compilation album ''Be Still and Know... Hymns & Faith''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Hymn of Joy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
