O Dieu purifiez nos cceursA
Purifiez nos coeursA
-
Yea the lines hast thou laid unto meB
in pleasant placesA
And the beauty of this thy VeniceA
hast thou shown unto meB
Until is its loveliness become unto meB
a thing of tearsA
-
O God what great kindnessA
have we done in times pastC
and forgotten itD
That thou givest this wonder unto usA
O God of watersA
-
O God of the nightE
What great sorrowF
Cometh unto usA
That thou thus repayest usA
Before the time of its comingG
-
O God of silenceA
Purifiez nos c ursA
Purifiez nos c ursA
For we have seenH
The glory of the shadow of theI
likeness of thine handmaidE
-
Yea the glory of the shadowE
of thy Beauty hath walkedE
Upon the shadow of the watersA
In this thy VeniceA
And before the holinessA
Of the shadow of thy handmaidE
Have I hidden mine eyesA
O God of watersA
-
O God of silenceA
Purifiez nos c ursA
Purifiez nos c ursA
O God of watersA
make clean our hearts within usA
For I have seen theI
Shadow of this thy VeniceA
Floating upon the watersA
And thy starsA
-
Have seen this thing out of their far coursesA
Have they seen this thingG
O God of watersA
Even as are thy starsA
Silent unto us in their far coursingG
Even so is mine heartE
become silent within meB
-
Purifiez nos c ursA
O God of the silenceA
Purifiez nos c ursA
O God of watersA
