Verse 2
Let it rise above the four winds
Caught up in the heavenly sound
Let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals
To the faithful gathered under-ground
Of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation
Some were meant to per-sist Of all the bells rung from a thousand
steeples
None rings truer than this
