lirik lagu c. w. orr - take him, earth, for cherishing

Loading...

take him, earth, for cherishing
to thy tender breast receive him
body of a man i bring thee
n0ble even in its ruin

once was this a spirit’s dwelling
by the breath of god created
high the heart that here was beating
christ the prince of all its living

guard him well, the dead i give thee
not unmindful of his creature
shall he ask it: he who made it
symbol of his mystery

comes the hour god hath appointed
to fulfil the hope of men
then must thou, in vеry fashion
what i give, return again

not though ancient timе decaying
wear away these bones to sand
ashes that a man might measure
in the hollow of his hand:

not though wandering winds and idle
drifting through the empty sky
scatter dust was nerve and sinew
is it given to man to die
once again the shining road
leads to ample paradise;
open are the woods again
that the serpent lost for men

take, o take him, mighty leader
take again thy servant’s soul
grave his name, and pour the fragrant
balm upon the icy stone
