Charles Villiers Stanford - Ye choirs of new Jerusalem - текст песни (слова)

Ye choirs of new Jerusalem,
 Your sweetest notes employ,
 The Paschal victory to hymn
 In strains of holy joy.
 For Judah's Lion bursts His chains,
 Crushing the serpent's head;
 And cries aloud through death's domains
 To wake th'imprison'd dead.
 Devouring depths of hell
 Their prey at His command restore;
 His ransom'd hosts pursue their way
 Where Jesus goes before.
 Triumphant in His glory now
 To Him all power is given;
 To Him in one communion bow
 All saints in earth and heaven.
 While we, His soldiers, praise our King,
 His mercy we implore,
 Within His palace bright to bring
 And keep us evermore.
 All glory to the Father be,
 All glory to the Son,
 All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee,
 While endless ages run.
 Alleluia! Amen.
