Hallow'd be thy name
Peter Cornelius
The stars resound in eternal celestial song in wond'rous sound;
And wond'rous sound and Psalms brightly sung,
caused my soul to praise Thee.
If the soul bloomed like thy flowers only one day,
Then one day with light wingbeat
It will hover in the light of your kindness.
If the body doth blow away as the dust, the soul lives,
The soul lives, because it is held in your spirit,
Because enfolded in Thee, it can never pass.
From star to star above suspended in eternity,
In eternity accepting Thy glory,
I sing Thy goodness and praise Thy glory.
