And the choirs that dwell on high
Shall re-echo through the sky, Alleluia! Alleluia!
They in the rest of paradise who dwell,
The blessed ones with joy the chorus swell, Alleluia!
The planets beaming on their heavenly way,
The shining constellations join and say, Alleluia!
Ye clouds that onward sweep, ye winds on pinions light,
Ye thunders echoing loud and deep, ye lightnings
wildly bright,
In sweet consent unite you, Alleluia!
