Lyrics
(Lowell Mason)
Join ye in our singing,
Share it one and all,
Let our voices ringing
Echo through the hall.
Brother, thou belongest
To the tuneful throne,
Thou thy nature wrongest
By neglect of song.
Wake we, then, our measure!
‘Twill our youth prolong,
Oh, what strains of pleasure
Flow from cheerful song.
