Oh Joyous Day chart cover.

NOTE:  Just a heads up, the chart and cover photo have the “V” in front of the “U” in the last row of letters. Stitch it as charted or reverse it, up to you. Also there is no letter “W” in the scattered letters in the middle row, it could be put in with a little rearranging or left off. Again, your choice.
