Thine the spells that reunited Those estranged by custom dread; Every man or brother plighted Where thy gentle wingss are spread. Chorus: Millions in our arms we gather; To the world our kiss is sent! Past the starry firmament, Brothers, dwells a loving Father. Who that height of bliss has proved Once a friend of friends to be, Who has won a maid beloved, Join us in our jubilee. Whoso holds a heart in keeping One in all the world his own Who has failed, let him with weeping From our fellowship be gone. Chorus: All the mighty globe containeth Homage to Compassion pay! To the stars she leads the way Where the unknown Godhead reigneth Hearts in direst need unquailing, Aid to innocence in woe; Troth eternally unfailing, Loyalty to friend and foe! Fronting kings, and manly spirit, Though it cost us wealth and blood! Crowns to naught save noblest merit, Death to all the Liars' brood! Chorus: Close the holy circle. Ever Swear it by the wine of gold! Swear these sacred vows to hold, Swear it by the stars' Lawgiver! great song Ode to Joy (Schiller) voyager |
