Note that this also features in the award-winning Warner Brothers animated short "What's Opera Doc?" with reworked lyrics.

Does anyone know where I could find the English lyrics to this song? I like how the German lyrics sound too, but they're harder for me to sing. The English ones are just really hard to find. Can anybody help me?

[bulshoy]

Once more with joy O my home I may meet Once more ye fair, flowr'y meadows I greet My Pilgrim's staff henceforth may rest Since Heaven's sweet peace is within my breast. The sinner's 'plaint on high was heard On high was heard and answered by the Lord The tears I laid before His shrine Are turned to hope and joy divine. O Lord eternal praise be Thine! The blessed source of Thy mercy overflowing On souls repentant seek Ye, all-knowing Of hell and death, I have no fear For thou my Lord are ever

near.

Alleluia!

Alleluia!

Alleluia! For evermore.

The German lyrics are 1000 times better. But this one is beautiful anyway, even through its in English.

[bulshoy]

I have to agree with you there.

[zolochnaya]

What a beautiful sound.

[CCWLuter]

It's funny because they're mormons. Lol.

[XenophobicAirport]

please some kind folk assist me; I am looking for a recorded song with lyrics Come where the birds are singing a song of the mountains. Come where the heart is calling you from the mountains. If I could hear an echo from you my belovered I'l be be close to heaven-the mountains and my love....

|: Den Herren, dem mein Lied ertönt. :|

Der Gnade Heil ist dem Büßer beschieden,

Er geht einst ein in der Seligen Frieden,

Vor Höll' und Tod ist ihm nicht bang,

Drum preis' ich Gott mein Lebelang.

Halleluja! Halleluja in Ewigkeit!

In Ewigkeit!

@israelfurtadosantoss Richard Wagner Beglückt dar nun dich, O Heimat, ich schaun Und grüßen froh deine lieblichen Auen; Nun laß ich ruhn den Wanderstab, Weil Gott getreu ich gepilgert hab. Durch Sühn und Buß hab ich versöhnt Den Herren, Dem mein Herze fröhnt, Der meine Reu mit Segen krönt, |: Den Herren, dem mein Lied ertönt. :|

One of my family's all-time favorites. To listen to this and turn up the volume and close your eyes, is the best of the best. Certainly Beethoven and Tchaikovsky are incredible, but this one piece, this one chorus in Tannhauser, is sublime.
