SWEET melody amidst the moving spheres br Breaks forth, a solemn and entrancing sound, br A harmony whereof the earth's green hills br Give but the faintest echo; yet is there br A music everywhere, and concert sweet! br All birds which sing amidst the forest deep br Till the flowers listen with unfolded bells; br All winds that murmur over summer grass, br Or curl the waves upon the pebbly shore; br Chiefly all earnest human voices rais'd br In charity and for the cause of truth, br Mingle together in one sacred chord, br And float, a grateful incense, up to God.
