Joyful
Voices
(Text: Dagmar Romann nach amerikanischen Vorlagen)
A lonely voice
is singing a song of loneliness. A lonely voice is singing a song.
Each voice for itself is like a little star in the universe. But no
one has to be alone in this world. More and more people raise their
joyful voices.
1. A time will
come for singing
when all your tears are shed,
when sorrow's chains are broken
and broken hearts will mend.
The deaf will hear you singing
when silent tongues are freed.
The lame will join your dancing
when blind eyes learn to see.
Stand up! Clap your hands. Raise your joyful voices.
2. A time will
come for singing
when trees will raise their boughs,
when men lay down their armor,
and hammer their swords into plows,
when beggars live as princes,
and orphans find their homes,
when prison cells are emptied,
and hatred has grown old.
Stand up! Clap your hands. Raise your joyful voices.
3. A time will
come for singing
a hymn by hearts foretold,
that kings have sought for ages,
and treasured more than gold.
Its lyrics turn to silver
when sung in harmony.
The Lord of love will teach us
to sing its melody.
Stand up! Clap your hands. Raise your joyful voices.
We are singing for a world of peace and harmony. Stand up!

Josuah
fit the battle of Jerico
(Text: Tradtitonal)
Josuah fit the
battle of Jerico and the walls came tumblin' down.
1. You may talk
about the king of Gideon,
you may talk about the king of Saul,
there's none like good old Josuah
at the battle of Jerico!
2. Right up to
the walls of jerico
he marched with spear in hand,
"Go, blow them ram horns", Josuah cried,
"cause the battle am in my hand!"
3. Then Josuah
had the people blow,
an' the trumpets with mighty sound,
an' they blew so awful loud and long
that the walls came tumblin' down!

Go
tell it on the Mountain
(Text: Traditional; Strophen: John W. Work II)
Go tell it on
the mountains, go tell it in the valleys, that my Jesus, my blessed
Jesus is born.
Go tell it on
the mountain, over the hills and everywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.
1. While shepherds
kept their watching
o'er silent flocks by night,
behold throughout the heavens
there shone a holy light.
2. The shepherds
feared and trembled
when lo! above the earth
rang out the angels chorus
and hailed our saviour's birth!
People ev'rywhere
want to hear the good news. Share the good news with ev'ryone around
you, your brothers and sisters, your mothers and fathers, your friends
and relations, wherever you meet them. Ey'rywhere and in all seasons
tell them Jesus is born! We're gonna sing with the angels. Singing
"Glory in the highest!"

Oh Happy Day!
When Jesus washed, he washed my sins away.

to live rejoicing every day.
