I walk upon your meadows wide,
Where creatures great and small
Run swiftly or in slow steps stride,
Where pathways rise and fall.
I hear the Carroll chorus sing
From hill to hill with vim.
The birds lift up their feathered wings.
And chant their timeless hymns.
Your lands and creatures puls the view
In clear and dulcet keys
I feel great joy to live in you,
And you to live in me.
Where creatures great and small
Run swiftly or in slow steps stride,
Where pathways rise and fall.
I hear the Carroll chorus sing
From hill to hill with vim.
The birds lift up their feathered wings.
And chant their timeless hymns.
Your lands and creatures puls the view
In clear and dulcet keys
I feel great joy to live in you,
And you to live in me.
