Roxanna Panufnik - Prayer

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/2084983
Prayer, the Church's banquet, the Angels' age
God's breath in man returning to his birth
The soul in paraphrase, heart in pilgrimage
The Christian plummet sounding heaven and earth;
Engine against the Almighty, sinner's tower
Reversed thunder, Christ-side-piercing spear
The six-days'-world transposing in an hour
A kind of tune, which all things hear and fear;
Softness, and peace, and joy, and love, and bliss
Exalted manna, gladness of the best
Heaven in ordinary, man wеll drest
The milky way, the bird of Paradisе
Church bells beyond the stars heard
The soul's blood
The land of spices, something understood
