Songs of rejoicin', Of love and of cheer, Are the songs that I'm yearnin' for Year after year. The songs about children Who laugh in their glee Are the songs worth the singin', The bright songs for me. Songs of rejoicin', Of kisses and love, Of faith in the Father, Who sends from above The sunbeams to scatter The gloom and the fear; These songs worth the singin', The songs of good cheer. Songs of rejoicin', Oh, sing them again, The brave songs of courage Appealing to men. Of hope in the future Of heaven the goal; The songs of rejoicin' That strengthen the soul. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SIXTEEN DEAD MEN by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS SONG [WRITTEN IN THE YEAR 1732] by GEORGE LYTTELTON THE BLUE BIRD by LAWRENCE ALMA-TADEMA THE ENGINE by ALEXANDER ANDERSON CHARACTERS: SARAH TAYLOR RIGBY by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD KINDLY VISION by OTTO JULIUS BIERBAUM |
