Full and harmonious, let the joyous chorus

1 Full and harmonious, let the joyous chorus,
Burst from our lips in one glad song of pleasure;
Joining the notes of ages long before us,
Hymning the praise of heavenly music's measure.
Bright from the heavens it descended,
Loud to the heavens raise our voices,
While each young heart in one full chorus blended,
In sweetest harmony and song rejoices.

2 Music's the measure of the planet's motion,
Heart-beat and measure of the glorious heaven;
Fugue-like the streams roll, and the choral ocean
Heaves in obedience to its mandate given
Thrills through all hearts the vibration;
From God it flows, ceasing never;
God gives the key-note, Love to all creation;
Join, O my soul! and sing his love forever!
