Full Lyrics
There is beauty on the land,
There is splendor on the sea,
Full of glory is the heaven,
And the earth is full of glee:
Every robin in the grass,
Every lark on sunny wing,
Warbles loud a song of joy,
And shall we not also sing?
Then lift the song on high,
And fill the arching sky,
Till every heart shall catch the strain,
And ring the echo back again:
Goodbye, Despair!
Away, dull care!
Though the sunshine sometimes fails,
And the clouds sometimes appear,
Up beyond the clouds, the sun
Ever shines in radiance clear;
Though the daylight fades away
In the shadows of the Even,
’Tis that stars may shine and tell
That the earth is hung in heaven.
Even night with all her shade,
Even Winter with his snow,
Come in beauty to the earth,
And in joyous music go:
Every snowflake is a gem,
Sparkling to the sun afar,
And each shadow of the night
Has a shining silver star.
