Oliver Holden - Lamentation - текст песни (слова)

8. And now they sink the lofty tone,
 And gentler notes they play,
 And bring th' eternal godhead down
 To dwell in humble clay.
 
 9. O sacred beauties of the Man!
 (The God resides within)
 His flesh all pure, without a stain;
 His soul without a sin.
 
 10. Then, how he looked, and how he smiled?
 What wondrous things he said!
 Sweet cherubs, stay, dwell here a while,
 And tell what Jesus did!
 
 11.At his command the blind awake,
 And feel the gladsome rays:
 He bids the dumb attempt to speak,
 They try their tongues in praise.
 
 12. He shed a thousand blessings round
 Wherever he turned his eye:
 He spoke, and, at the sovereign sounds
 The hellish legions fly.
 
 13. Thus, while, with unambitious strife,
 Th' ethereal minstrels rove
 Through all the labors of his life,
 And wonders of his love.
 
 14. In the full choir a broken string
 Groans with a strange surprise;
 The rest in silence mourn their King
 That bleeds, and loves, and dies.
