gustav holst - intercession lyrics

Loading...

set free thy people, set free thy servants
lighten thine anger, ruler most holy;
look on their anguish, bitter their weeping
christ, in thy mercy

thou art our father, master exalted
we are thy servants, thou the good shepherd
bearing thy token of blood and of crimson
marked on our foreheads

deep in thy h+ll who then shall confess thee?
yea, shall the dead give praise to thy name?
judge of our dread, thy rod is of iron
spare us, we pray thee

bring not so near to thy people, thy servants
the cup of thine anger, thy merited wrath :
lighten upon us thine ancient compassion
we cry. do thou hear!

loosen, we pray thee, our load of transgression
vouchsafe to keep us, prince ever blessed
vanquish the shadow that darkens our spirits
light of the world

saint of all saints and king of all kingships
visit thy people with thy right hand
lift up the light of thy countenance upon us
lord, or we perish
