Part 2 — SONG
Reading edition
From "Sunday Up the River"
Let my voice ring out and over the earth, Through all the grief and strife, With a golden joy in a silver mirth: Thank God for life!
Let my voice swell out through the great abyss To the azure dome above, With a chord of faith in the harp of bliss: Thank God for Love!
Let my voice thrill out beneath and above, The whole world through: O my Love and Life, O my Life and Love, Thank God for you!
James Thomson [1834-1882]
