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!

"Go, blow them ram horns", Josuah cried,

Oh
when the Saints
(Text: Traditional)
Oh when
the Saints go marchin' in,
I want to be among the number.
And when
the stars begin to shine,
I want to be among the number.

blows in his horn,
I want to be among the number.
And when
the sun refuse to shine,
I want to be among the number.

And when
they gather round the throne,
I want to be among the number.
And on
that halleluja day,
I want to be among the number.

All
things bright and beautiful
(Text: C. F. Alexander)
All things
bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
Each little
flow'r that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours,
He made their tiny wings.
All things
bright and beautiful, ...
The purpleheaded
mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning,
That brightens up the sky.
The cold
wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them ev'ry one:
All things
bright and beautiful, ...
He gave
us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.
All things
bright and beautiful, ...

I
will follow him (aus "Sister Act")
(Text: Norman Gimbel & Arthur Altman)
I will
follow him,
follow him whereever he may go.
And near him I always will be,
nothing can keep me away.
He is my destiny.
I will
follow him.
Ever since he touched my heart I knew.
There isn't an ocean to deep,
a mountain so high it can keep,
keep me away,
away from his love.
I love
him.
And where he goes I'll follow.
I will
follow him,
follow him whereever he may go....
I love
him.
I'll follow.
True love.
Forever.
I love
him.
And where he goes I'll follow.
He'll always be my true love
from now until forever.
There isn't an ocean to deep,
a mountain so high it can keep,
keep us away;
away from his love.
