A Song of Joy (Himno a la Alegria) w/lyrics - The Sandpipers

From the CD A&M Gold Series The Sandpipers
A&M Records, Inc. 1988

Lyrics:

Come sing a song of joy
For peace shall come, my brother
Come sing a song of joy
For man shall love each other
That day will come just as sure
As hearts that are pure
Are hearts set free
No man must stand alone
With hands held out before him
Reach out and take them in yours
With love that endures forever more
Then sing a song of joy
For love and understanding

Come sing a song of joy
For freedom, tell a story
Sing, sing a song of joy
For mankind in his glory
One mighty voice that will ring
A song that will ring forever more
Then sing a song of joy
For love and understanding

[YoshiBroe]

This is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, Fourth Movement. The German has been translated into English. This version by the Sandpipers is magnificent! I've been hunting this for years! Thank you!

ever since i bought this album about 5 years ago, this melody and vocal harmony has beguiled me (ESPECIALLY beginning @ 3:03). i listened to the whole album, but this and Come Saturday Morning are the only two i remember.
