dudley buck - hymn to music lyrics

Loading...

o art! thou holiest temple of earth
upon thy threshold kneeleth the master, with hands silent folded
the ivy twineth its branches, coileth round thy columns fair
and drapeth in verdure thy arches above

music awakes! the glorious swell of organ tones
tubas and trumpets resounding;
now breathing softly like a gentle flute to stars above;
now rushing and roaring in tempest, arising like thunder it rolls

and the heart of man hears the tones so majestic
and from his eyes unbidden the tears are shed
then rising in rapture all hopeful it soars to regions of glory on high
all this hath music wrought. o art! o glorious art!
