Lyrics by：Christopher Fishburn

Composed by：Henry Purcell

Then lift up your voices those organs of nature

Those charms to the troubled and amorous creature

Then lift up your voices those organs of nature

Those charms to the troubled and amorous creature

Then lift up your voices

Then lift up your voices

Then lift up your voices those organs

Those organs of nature

Those charms to the troubled

Those charms to the troubled and amorous creature

The power shall divert us a pleasanter way

For sorrow and grief find from music relief

And love its soft charms

And love its soft charms

Its soft charms must obey

And love its soft charms

And love its soft charms

Its soft charms must obey

Then lift up your voices

Then lift up your voices

Then lift up your voices those organs

Those organs of nature

Those charms to the troubled

Those charms to the troubled and amorous creature

Then lift up your voices those organs of nature

Those charms to the troubled

Those charms to the troubled and amorous creature
