retrospect - william billings lyrics
was not the day dark and gloomy
the enemy said, let us draw a line, even from york to canada
but praised be the lord
the snare is broken, and we are escaped
hark! hear the adjuration:
cursed be the man that keepeth back his sword
oh! dismal! oh! horrible!
my bowels, i am pained at my very heart
my heart maketh a noise within me
for thou hast heard, o my soul
the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war
see my father, behold my brother
hear him groan, see him diе
o thou sword of the lord, how long will it be erе thou be quiet?
put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest and be still
cause us to hear with joy thy kind forgiving voice
that so the bones which thou hast broke
may with fresh strength rejoice
hark! my soul, catch the sound
hear and rejoice
beat your swords into plowshares
and your spears into pruning hooks
and learn war no more
how beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him who brings good tidings, that publisheth peace
peace be on earth, good will toward men
hallelujah, for the lord god omnipotent reigneth
hallelujah! amen
