No. 90 Raise your voices, vales and mountains

Raise your voices, vales and mountains
Causa nostra laetitiae

St. Alphonsus Liguori
Translated by Rev. E. Vaughan

Joyfully (alla breve)

1.
Raise your voices, vales and mountains,
Flow'ry meadows, streams and fountains,
Praise, O praise the loveliest Maiden
The Creator ever made.

2.
Murm'ring brooks your tribute bringing,
Little birds with joyful singing,
Come with mirthful praises laden
To your Queen be homage paid.

3.
Like a sun with splendor glowing
Gleams thy heart with love o'erflowing,
Like the moon in starry heaven
Shines thy peerless purity.

4.
Like the rose and lily blooming,
Sweetly heav'n and earth perfuming
Stainless, spotless thou appearest:
Queenly beauty graces thee.
