stone angel - the holy rood of bromholm lyrics

Loading...

constantinople’s emperor possessed a holy cross
rode with it into battle and never suffered loss
a relic of the true cross, its holy power employed
until one day without it, his army were destroyed

when to constantinople this news at length was spread
it greatly feared the chaplain so that he quickly fled
with all the stolen treasures, he travelled land and sea
until he camе to england, his fortune for to seek

from monastery to priory, the holy rеlics sold
but still he kept the cross, no one ever offered gold
till at last he came to bromholm, the poorest of them all
and there he joined their living and gave to them the cross

the rood’s amazing power brought pilgrims far and near
among them came king henry to whom the cross was dear
and rich were the thanksgivings the pilgrims, they did bring
and the holy rood of bromholm, it caused their hearts to sing

come all you worthy pilgrims that wander through this land
again to bromholm’s ruins, we’ll travel hand in hand
through green and pleasant england, sing merry as we go
by the holy rood of bromholm, amen, it shall be so
