[00:46.65]From your embrace[00:47.13]Where sleeps an eternal Night,[01:37.74]Let me emerge and sing this Elendian plaint,[01:38.70]For all the pearls have vanished that shone before.[01:39.66]Teach me in pure melodious songs to move[01:40.50]With sirenian might[01:40.92]These hearts who died in joy.[01:43.41]Lord, let the soul of music tune my voice[01:44.34]For death and despair have soiled the shores of Heaven.[02:07.53]Ah! Let the soul of music tune my voice[02:14.10]And cast down with sin oppressed I'll be longing[02:23.52]For your embrace.
