Then We'll Sing

Sweet music cheers the spirit

Published in 5 hymnals

Representative Text

1 Sweet music cheers the spirit,
And joy speaks out in song;
It gives the timid courage,
It makes the feeble strong.
It soothes the anxious bosom,
It brings the weary rest;
Disarms the base and evil,
And better makes the best.

2 The elements speak music
In ev'ry leafy grove;
And all the birds, in music,
Are telling forth their love.
To us who here are singing,
Have human minds been given;
And we should feel that music
Is but a voice from Heaven.
