Joy and a Flashmob

Speaking of joy (my last post), my friend Rod, an elder in our church, sent this video to me. It's a flash mob brought together to honor a local bank in the Spanish town of Sabadell. But Someone else is honored, too.

Listen to the whole thing--only six minutes, and watch the faces. Wow.


 Here's what they're singing:

Ode To Joy
Joyful, joyful
We adore Thee
God of glory
Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Hail Thee to the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light of day

With light
With light

Mortals join the mighty chorus
Which the morning stars began
Father love is reigning o'er us
Brother love binds man to man
Ever singing march we onward
Victors in the midst of strife
Joyful music lifts us Son ward
In the triumph song of life
