| And the green grass greener still | B |
| And earth's flowers seem more lovely | C |
| As they bloom on heath and hill | B |
| There's a beauty breathing round me | C |
| Like a newborn Eden now | D |
| And forgotten are the furrows | E |
| Grief has graven on my brow | D |
| There is gladness in the sunshine | F |
| As its gold light gilds the trees | E |
| And I hear a voice of music | G |
| Singing to me in the breeze | E |
| There is in my heart a lightness | E |
| That seemeth not of me | C |
| For today I've burst from bondage | H |
| And I feel that I am free | C |
| - | |
| Free in the golden sunshine | F |
| Free in the fresh pure air | I |
| Where the flowers of the forest | J |
| In their wild homes flourish fair | I |
| Free to thought to give expression | K |
| To sing to dance and show | L |
| That the stern world has not crushed me | C |
| With its weary weight of woe | L |
| Are the years of care and sorrow | L |
| But a dark dream of the past | M |
| Or this new life but a vision | K |
| That is all too bright to last | M |
| How exaltingly my spirit | N |
| Flashes forth its newborn glee | C |
| As amid rejoicing nature | A |
| I can feel that I am free | C |
| - | |
| I have neither friend nor loved one | K |
| To welcome me nor home | O |
| And lonely through the wide world | P |
| As a stranger I must roam | O |
| I know not where tomorrow | L |
| To procure my daily bread | Q |
| And tonight the waving branches | E |
| Must canopy my head | Q |
| But if I had a palace | E |
| If of friends a gladsome throng | R |
| If some darling one were near me | C |
| To cheer with love and song | R |
| If I'd riches which were boundless | E |
| No more joyous could I be | C |
| Than what I am exulting | S |
| In the thought that I am free | C |
| - | |
| Free in the bright glad sunshine | F |
| Free in the fresh pure air | I |
| My heart with gladness throbbing | S |
| And on my brow no care | I |
| There's the blue sky all above me | C |
| Not a prison roof between | T |
| And at my feet the flowers | E |
| Nestle in the verdure green | T |
| - | |
| Hark I hear the breezes singing | S |
| 'Lift thy heart to God on high | U |
| Who hath brought theee back from sorrow | L |
| To this world of hope and joy ' | - |
| And the little nodding flowers | E |
| In a chorus sing to me | C |
| 'If God from sin shall free thee | C |
| Then thou shalt indeed be free ' | - |
