The Morning Stars Sang Together ‎#53

53. The sun is bright

1 The sun is bright, its golden light,
Doth fill the world with power;
The songbirds fly through kindling sky,
And music floods the hour.
The gladsome life, when free from strife,
And falling showers on fields and flowers,
Shall make us happy,
Shall make us happy,
Shall make happy, glad and free.

2 The golden beams in laughing streams,
And music in the trees;
The heavenly dyes and love-lit eyes,
And whisperings in the breeze;
The lovely songs of unseen throngs,
And loving hands from angel bands,
Shall make us happy,
Shall make us happy,
Small make us happy, glad and free.

3 There is no death! the Father's breath
Filleth the heart with youth;
A heavenly wave destroys the grave
For him who loveth truth.
The earth is sweet, but time is fleet,
Then let us love the truths above,
That makes us happy,
That makes us happy,
That makes us happy, glad and free.
