Sea Pictures Op. 37 - Sea Pictures, Op. 37: No. 3, A Sabbath Morning at Sea (海景，Op. 37 - 海景 作品37 - 第三乐章 海上安息日的早晨) (2004 Digital Remaster)-Janet Baker

[00:13.60]the ship went on with solemn face;
[00:23.96]to meet the darkness on the deep,
[00:35.06]the solemn ship went onward.
[00:48.75]i bowed down weary in the place;
[01:00.11]for parting tears and present sleep
[01:09.02]had weighed mine eyelids downward.
[01:19.80]
[01:22.75]the new sight, the new wondrous sight!
[01:28.80]the waters around me, turbulent,
[01:35.04]the skies, impassive o'er me,
[01:44.69]calm in a moonless, sunless light,
[01:55.07]as glorified by even the intent
[02:03.07]of holding the day glory!
[02:16.61]
[02:28.82]love me, sweet friends, this sabbath day.
[02:36.81]the sea sings round me while ye roll afar
[02:46.36]the hymn, unaltered,
[02:53.70]and kneel, where once i knelt to pray,
[03:04.75]and bless me deeper in your soul
[03:14.04]because your voice has faltered.
[03:20.92]and though this sabbath comes to me
[03:38.00]without the stolèd minister,
[03:45.78]and chanting congregation,
[03:57.97]god's spirit shall give comfort.
[04:12.92]he who brooded soft on waters drear,
[04:21.37]creator on creation.
[04:32.96]
[04:38.26]he shall assist me to look higher,
[04:46.15]he shall assist me to look higher,
[04:52.31]where keep the saints, with harp and
[04:59.38]song,
[04:59.75]an endless endless sabbath morning,
[05:08.26]an endless sabbath morning,
[05:18.94]and on that sea commixed with fire,
[05:25.91]on that sea commixed with fire,
[05:32.50]oft drop their eyelids raised too long
[05:37.05]to the full godhead's burning.
[05:45.26]the full godhead's burning.
[06:08.84]
