Original text and translations

English text

There are bright-tinted flowers where the soft breezes float,
And the dews of the evening fall,
Where the bird and the bee from the honey cups drink,
For the sun shineth bright over all.

Over all, over all,
For the sun shineth bright over all,
 ’Tis a beautiful earth with its brilliance and shade,
For the sun shineth bright over all.

There are beautiful souls with a calmness serene,
And a happy content withal,
And they dwell in the glow of the radiant beam,
For the sun shineth bright over all.

There are sorrowing hearts who the lone vigils keep,
Where the storms of affliction fall,
There are love cherished mounds in the greencovered vale,
But the sun shineth bright over all.
