O come ye fair, while blooming May Is deck'd in all the pride of Spring! O come and crown this festive day With smiles that charm us while we sing. If beauty smiles, no cares annoy, Sweet music's pow'rs each bliss improve; Beauty is the source of ev'ry joy And music is the food of love. O love, thou parent of delight, Whose magic soothes the savage mind, By thee our passions tun'd unite In harmony to bless mankind.
