Oliver Holden - Solicitude - текст песни (слова)

4. Around the bloody tree,
 Ye pressed with strong desire;
 The wondrous sight to see,
 The Lord of life expire.
 And could your eyes 

 Have known a tear,

 Had dropped it there

 In sad surprise.

 
 5. Around the sacred tomb
 A willing watch ye keep;
 Till the blest moment come
 To rouse Him from His sleep;
 Then rolled the stone,

 And all adored

 Your rising Lord

 With joy unknown.

 
 6. When all arrayed in light,
 The shining Conqueror rode,
 Ye hailed His rapturous flight
 Up to the throne of God;
 And waved around

 Your golden wings,

 And struck your strings

 Of sweetest sound.

 
 7. The warbling notes pursue,
 And louder anthems raise;
 While mortals sing with you
 Their own Redeemer's praise:
 And thou, my heart,

 With equal flame,

 And joy the same,

 Perform thy part.
