Oh all things beautiful! God made ye so

That the glad hearts of men might overflow!

O Soul within me, whose wings sweep a lyre--

God gave thee song that thou might'st give him praise;

O Heart that glows with the Promethean fire,

O Spirit whose fine chords some influence plays:

O all sweet thoughts and beautiful emotions,

O smiles and tears, and trembling and delight,

Have ye not all part in the soul's devotions,

To help it swell its anthem's happy height?
