It finds an echo in my soul How can I keep from singing?
I lift my eyes, the cloud grows thin, I see the blue above it.
And day by day this pathway smooths,since first I learned to love it.
The peace of Celestia makes fresh my heart, a fountain ever springing;
All things are mine since I am hers how can I keep from singing?
When tyrants tremble, sick with fear, and hear their death-knell ringing,
When friends rejoice both far and near, how can I keep from singing?
In prison cell and dungeon vile, our thoughts to them go winging;
When friends by shame are undefiled, how can I keep from singing?
