blest pair of sirens - hubert parry lyrics

blest pair of sirens, pledges of heaven’s joy
sphere*born harmonious sisters, voice and verse
wed your divine sounds, and mix’d power employ
dead things with inbreathed sense able to pierce;
and to our high*raised fantasy present
that undisturbèd song of pure concent
aye sung before the sapphire*coloured throne
to him that sits thereon
with saintly shout and solemn jubilee;
where the bright sеraphim, in burning row
their loud uplifted angel trumpеts blow;
and the cherubic host, in thousand quires
touch their immortal harps of golden wires
with those just spirits that wear victorious palms
hymns devout and holy psalms
singing everlastingly:
that we on earth, with undiscording voice
may rightly answer that melodious noise;
as once we did, till disproportion’d sin
jarr’d against nature’s chime and with harsh din
broke the fair musick that all creatures made
to their great lord, whose love their motion sway’d
in perfect diapason, whilst they stood
in first obedience and their state of good
o may we soon again renew that song
and keep in tune with heaven, till god ere long
to his celestial concert us unite
to live with him, and sing in endless morn of light!
