Ralph Vaughan Williams - Lasst uns erfreuen - текст песни (слова)

3  Respond, ye souls in endless rest,
 Ye patriarchs and prophets blest,

 Alleluia! Alleluia!

 Ye holy twelve, ye martyrs strong,

 All saints triumphant, raise the song.

 R:  
 4  :O friends, in gladness let us sing,
 Supernal anthems echoing,

 Alleluia! Alleluia!

 To God the Father, God the Son,

 And God the Spirit, Three in One.

 R:
