gerald finzi - welcome sweet and sacred feast كلمات أغنية

welcome sweet and sacred feast; welcome life!
dead i was, and deep in trouble;
but grace and blessings came with thee so rife
that they have quickened even dry stubble
thus souls their bodies animate
and thus, at first, when things were rude
dark, void and crude
they, by thy word, their beauty had and date;
all were by thee
and still must be;
nothing that is, or lives
but hath his quick’nings and reprieves
as thy hand opes or shuts:
healings and cuts
darkness and daylight, life and death
are but mere leaves turn’d by thy breath
but that great darkness at thy death
when the veil broke with thy last breath
did make us see
the way to thee
was’t not enough that thou hadst paid the price
and given us eyes
when we had none, but thou must also take
us by the hand and keep us still awake
when we would sleep
or from thee creep
who without thee cannot stand?
was’t not enough to lose thy breath
and blood by an accursed death
but thou must also leave
to us that did bereave
thee of them both, these seals, the means
that should both cleanse and keep us so
who wrought thy woe?
o rose of sharon! o the lily
of the valley!
how art thou now, thy flock to keep
become both food, and shepherd to thy sheep
