Deliver me, o Lord, from everlasting death
on that terrible day
when the heavens and the earth are moved
when you come to judge the world by fire

I become trembling and afraid
discussing the day of accounting and the wrath to come.
That day, the day of calamity and misery,
a great and very bitter day.
Grant them eternal rest, o Lord,
and let eternal light shine upon them.

on that terrible day
when the heavens and the earth are moved
when you come to judge the world by fire

but they coming may the martyrs receive you
and bring you into the holy city Jerusalem
Chorus
Jerusalem
Sopranos
There may the chorus of angels welcome you,
and with Lazarus, once poor,
may you have eternal rest.
Together with the stars
a man sick with love
poured out his sorrow beneath a night sky
and said, gazing upon them:
“Oh lovely images
of the idol whom I adore,
just as you show me,
while thus you shine,
her rare beauty;
So show to her,
while so much you burn,
my own feelings of passion.
Make her, with your golden likeness,
merciful indeed, as you make me a lover.”
Cherry blossoms in the March sky as far as one can see.
Are they mist, are the clouds wafting through the air?
Let's go and see.
