OK, here are the (embedded) chords, for the tune in its present form.

I'm getting more comfortable with the tune as I've tweaked bits and pieces of it, but I'm still open to changes.



JOY FOR THE GLORIOUS MORNING!
(words & music by R. Jeanene Pratt, © 2009, 2012)

                              
J[G]oy, jo[C]y! What a gl[D7]orious m[G]orning!
                           
O[C]h, what a be[D]autiful da[G]y!
                                             
The co[Em]ld, dark to[Am]mb couldn't b[B7]ury the Li[C]ght
                                    
And the st[Em]one's been ro[B7] lled aw[Em]ay!   [C][D7][G]


                                 
Si[G]ng, Si[C]ng, for the ne[D7] w day's da[G]wning,
                           
He[Am]aven and e[A]arth reb[B7]orn!
                                                   
Ha[Em]te couldn't conquer the po[B7]wer of Lo[C]ve
                           
On this pe[Em]aceful E[B7]aster mo[Em]rn,
                           
On this ble[C]ssed E[B7]aster m[Em]orn.

                                 
[Am]Just three days ago / th[G]ey put Love on trial
                                                
[Am] 'Cause they could not understa[Em]nd.
                           
I[Am] gnorance and fear se[G]emed to rule the minds
                              
And d[Am]arken the he[F] arts of m[E]an.                                    


                                 
[Am]Just three days ago / da[G]rkness seemed to reign,
                                             
W[F]e'd been blinded by the Li[E]ght.
                                          
[F] But fear and cha[Fm]ins co[C]uld not conta[Am]in
                           
The p[Dm]ower of Lo[F]ve Divi[E]ne.    [E7]

                                       
So si[G]ng o[C]ut, let your vo[D7]ice ring o[G]ut!
                  
Lo[C]ve vict[D7]orious re[G]igns!
                                    
Let the e[Em]arth abo[Am]und with jo[B7]yful so[C]und,                           
                                 
For H[Em]ope is bo[B7]rn aga[Em]in.   [C][D7][G]

                                    
Pra[G]ise, pra[C]ise for the gl[D7]orious m[G]orn'! Let
                     
M[C]usic f[D7]ill the e[G]arth!
                     
Si[Am]ng, for a n[Em] ew d[B7]ay is d[C]awning
                                                                                                                        
With the pr[Em]omise o[B7]f rebi[Em] rth.   [C][D7][G]

                                 
So, j[G]oy, j[C]oy for the gl[D7]orious m[G]orning!
                        
O[C]h, what a j[D7]ubilant d[G]ay
                                       
When Lo[Am]ve sprang f[F]orth witho[B7]ut a sou[Em]nd
                           
And r[G]olled that st[B7]one aw[Em]ay!
                     
And ro[C]lled that sto[D7]ne aw[G]ay!
