greg brown - holy thursday lyrics

Loading...

’twas on a holy thursday, their innocent faces clean,
the children walking two and two, in red, and blue, and
green:
grey-headed beadles walked before, with wands as white as
snow,
till into the high dome of paul’s they like thames waters
flow.

o what a mult-tude they seemed, these flowers of london
town!
seated in companies they sit, with radiance all their
own.
the hum of mult-tudes was there, but mult-tudes of lambs,
thousands of little boys and girls raising their innocent
hands.

now like a mighty wind they raise to heaven the voice of
song,
or like harmonious thunderings the seats of heaven among:
beneath them sit the aged men, wise guardians of the
poor.
then cherish pity, lest you drive an angel from your
door.
