Charles Villiers Stanford - O living will - текст песни (слова)

O living will that shall endure 
 When all that seems shall suffer shock, 
 Rise in the spiritual rock, 
 Flow thro' our deeds and make them pure, 
  
 That we may lift from out of dust 
 A voice as unto him that hears, 
 A cry above the conquer'd years 
 To one that with us works, and trust, 
  
 With faith that comes of self-control, 
 The truths that never can be proved 
 Until we close with all we loved, 
 And all we flow from, soul in soul.
