| AND HEAVEN SHINE NOW Home was slain today Yes it was put to violence It could not describe this glory For it did not have the depth It was like fire in the sky We all trembled at the coming The gods were sorely vexed As they heard the remnant humming: "May the elders all bow down And Heaven shine now and forever May the earth fill with the sound Of our ever-joyous souls" They who took the Chi Xi Stigma Presence potentate and piercing Love for drachmas slaves for barley Who gave the courts of praise for robbing They were frightened at the sight Of our heroes dead and walking Of the one who raised them up So they could cry out loud and say: "May the elders fall and sing And Heaven shine now and forever May our voices all resound In our everlasting home" Kyrios Christos Eli Hamashiach Sancte sancte sancte Domine Deus magnum BACK |
