What voice of gladness, hark! in heaven is ringing?  
What voice of gladness, hark! in heaven is ringing?
From the sad fields the lark is upward winging.  
From the sad fields the lark is upward winging.


High through the mournful mist that blots our day  
High through the mournful mist that blots our day
Their songs betray them soaring in the grey.  
Their songs betray them soaring in the grey.
See them! Nay, they in sunlight swim;  
See them! Nay, they in sunlight swim;
Above the furthest stain of cloud attain;  
Above the furthest stain of cloud attain;
their hearts in music rain upon the plain.  
their hearts in music rain upon the plain.




Sweet birds, far out of sight  
Sweet birds, far out of sight
Your songs of pleasure  
Your songs of pleasure
Dome us with joy as bright  
Dome us with joy as bright
As heaven's best azure.}}

What voice of gladness, hark! in heaven is ringing?
From the sad fields the lark is upward winging.

High through the mournful mist that blots our day
Their songs betray them soaring in the grey.
See them! Nay, they in sunlight swim;
Above the furthest stain of cloud attain;
their hearts in music rain upon the plain.


Sweet birds, far out of sight
Your songs of pleasure
Dome us with joy as bright
As heaven's best azure.
