stephen jenks - mount vernon hymn كلمات أغنية

what solemn sounds the ear invade
what wraps the land in sorrow’s shade
from heav’n the awful mandate flies
the father of his country dies

let ev’ry heart be filled with woe
let ev’ry eye with tears o’erflow
each form oppress’d with deepest gloom
be clad in vestments of the tomb!

behold that venerable band
the rulers of our mourning land;
with grief proclaim, from shore to shore
our guide, our washington’s no more!

where shall columbia turn its eye
what help remains beneath the sky?
our friend, protector, strength and trust
lies low and mould’ring in the dust

almighty god, to thee we fly
before thy throne above the sky;
in deep prostration humbly bow
and pour the pentitential vow

hear, o most high, our earnest pray’r
our country take beneath thy care;
when dangers press and foes draw near
may future washingtons appear
