Text:"We lift our tuneful voices"
Tune:["We lift our tuneful voices"]

94. "We lift our tuneful voices"

1 We lift our tuneful voices now,
In fresh melodious song;
While youthful eyes with pleasure glow,
To see our happy throng.
And as we send our greeting to
The breezes soft and mild,
Let waves of cheerful praises flow,
From pure hearts undefiled.
Let waves of cheerful praises flow,
From pure hearts undefiled.

2 And ye who join the swelling lay,
Sweet melodies employ,
To cheer us on our upward way,
And praises blend with joy.
Our teachers kind, whose constant care
We honor and approve;
Let smiles, which all our faces wear,
Reward your works of love.
Let smiles, which all our faces wear,
Reward your works of love.
