Join in a chorus

1 Join in a chorus,
Joyfully ring,
Voices united,
Love let us sing.

2 Love with young roses,
Sweet as the morn,
Garlands and crowns us,
Hiding the thorn.

3 Makes sandy deserts
Edens in bloom;
Sparking in freshness,
Rich in perfume.

4 Love true and living,
Dim though it burns,
Coming from heaven,
To heav'n returns.
