gerald finzi - lo, the full, final sacrifice, op. 26 كلمات أغنية

lo, the full, final sacrifice
on which all figures fix’t their eyes
the ransomed isaac, and his ram;
the manna, and the paschal lamb

jesu master, just and true!
our food, and faithful shepherd too!

o let that love which thus makes thee
mix with our low mortality
lift our lean souls, and set us up
convictors of thine own full cup
coheirs of saints. that so all may
drink the same wine; and the same way
nor change the pasture, but the place
to feed of thee in thine own face

o dear memorial of that death
which lives still, and allows us breath!
rich, royal food! bountiful bread!
whose use dеnies us to the dead!

livе ever bread of loves, and be
my life, my soul, my surer self to me

help lord, my faith, my hope increase;
and fill my portion in thy peace
give love for life; nor let my days
grow, but in new powers to thy name and praise
rise, royal sion! rise and sing
thy soul’s kind shepherd, thy heart’s king
stretch all thy powers; call if you can
harps of heaven to hands of man
this sovereign subject sits above
the best ambition of thy love

lo the bread of life, this day’s
triumphant text provokes thy praise
the living and life_giving bread
to the great twelve distributed
when life, himself, at point to die
of love, was his own legacy

o soft self_wounding pelican!
whose breast weeps balm for wounded man
all this way bend thy benign flood
to a bleeding heart that gasps for blood
that blood, whose least drops sovereign be
to wash my worlds of sins from me
come love! come lord! and that long day
for which i languish, come away
when this dry soul those eyes shall see
and drink the unseal’d source of thee
when glory’s sun faith’s shades shall chase
and for thy veil give me thy face
amen

- gerald finzi
