Joyful, Joyful

From the Disney movie

Sister Act



Music by Alan Menken, Lyrics by Glenn Slater

"Joyful, Joyful" is the final song sung by the St. Francis Choir in Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit. It is a joyous, gospel, hip-hop-infused adaption of Henry van Dyke's poem, "The Hymn of Joy" (often called "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee" after the first line).

The finale performance of "Joyful Joyful" was produced and arranged by Mervyn Warren, noted Jazz and gospel musician who is best known as an original member of a cappella vocal group Take 6.

    Release Date: 1992
