Away with melancholy

Hymnal: Linden Harp #60 (1855) First Line: Shall we oppress'd with sadness Lyrics: 1 Shall we oppress'd with sadness, Strike melancholy's string? O no, we'll tune to gladness, And merrily, merrily sing,--We'll sing. Bright valleys crown'd with flowers, Gay birds on soaring wing, Incite our tuneful powers, Then cheerily, cheerily sing, We'll sing. 2 In sweet harmonious measures We'll praise creation's King; The author of our pleasures, Will gratefully, gratefully sing,--We'll sing. Although some grief may wound us With agonizing sting, Yet blessings still surround us, Then joyfully, joyfully sing, We'll sing. 3 The God of consolation Relief will quickly bring; He promises salvation, So hopefully, hopefully sing,--We'll sing. We hope to meet in heav'n, Where praises ceaseless ring, When we shall be forgiven, And gloriously, gloriously sing, We'll sing. Languages: English Tune Title: [Shall we oppress'd with sadness]
