| Oh world and glad to the inmost heart of thee | B |
| All creatures rejoice | C |
| With one rapturous voice | C |
| As I with the passionate beat | A |
| Of my over full heart feel thee sweet | A |
| And all things that live and are part of thee | B |
| - | |
| Light light as a cloud | D |
| Swimming and trailing its shadow under me | B |
| I float in the deep | E |
| As a bird dream in sleep | E |
| And hear the wind murmuring loud | D |
| Far down where the tree tops are bowed | D |
| And I see where the secret place of the thunders be | B |
| - | |
| Oh the sky free and wide | F |
| With all the cloud banners flung out in it | G |
| Its singing wind blows | H |
| As a grand river flows | H |
| And I swim down its rhythmical tide | F |
| And still the horizon spreads wide | F |
| With the birds' and the poets' songs like a shout in it | G |
| - | |
| Oh life thou art sweet | A |
| Sweet sweet to the inmost heart of thee | B |
| I drink with my eyes | I |
| Thy limitless skies | I |
| And I feel with the rapturous beat | A |
| Of my wings thou art sweet | A |
| And I I am alive and a part of thee | B |
