ralph vaughan williams - the angel of death lyrics

the angel of death has been abroad throughout the land;
you may almost hear the beating of his wings
there is no one as of old . .
to sprinkle with blood the lintel
and the two side+posts of our doors
that he may spare and pass on

we looked for peace, but no good came;
and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
the snorting of his horses was heard from dan;
the whole land trembled at the sound
of the neighing of his strong ones;
for they are come, and have devoured the land
and those that dwell therein. . .

the harvest is past, the summer is ended
and we are not saved?

is there no balm in gilead?
is there no physician there?
why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

o man, greatly beloved, fear not
peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong

the glory of this latter house
shall be greater than the former
and in this place will i give peace
nation shall not lift up a sword against nation
neither shall there be war any more
and none shall make them afraid
neither shall the sword go through the land
mercy and truth are met together
righteousness and peace have kissed each other
truth shall spring out of the earth
and righteousness shall look down from heaven
open to me the gates of righteousness, i will go into them
let all the nations be gathered together
and let the people be assembled;
and let them hear, and say, it is the truth
and it shall come, that i will gather all nations and tongues
and they shall come and see my glory
and i will set a sign among them
and they shall declare my glory among the nations
for as the new heavens, and the new earth
which i will make, shall remain before me
so shall your seed and your name remain for ever
glory to god in the highest, and on earth peace
good+will toward men
