Текст песни The Dream of Gerontius, Op. 38 / Pt. 2: "Thy Judgement Now Is Near" - Yvonne Minton feat. Sir Peter Pears, John Shirley-Quirk, London Symphony Orchestra & Benjamin Britten




My judgment now is near, for we are
Coming to the veiled presence of our God
I hear the voices that I left on earth
It is the voice of friends around Thy bed, who say those
Who pain Thee now with a priest be there the echoes found
Before the throne stands the great angel of the agony
The same who strengthened Him, ath time He knelt
Alone in the garden-shade, besmeared with blood
That angel best can plead with Him for all
Tormented souls, the dying and the dead
Jesu, by that sultry dread which fell on Thee; Jesu, by that cool
Dismay which sickened Thee; Jesu, by that pang of heart which
Thrilled in Thee; Jesu, by that mount of sins which crippled Thee
Jesu, by that sense of guilt which stifled Thee; Jesu, by that
Innocence which girdled Thee; Jesu, by that sanctity which veiled
Thee; Jesu, by that Godhead which was one with Thee; Jesu, spare
These souls which are so dear to Thee; souls who in prison calm and
Patient wait for Thee; hasten, Lord, their hour, and bid them come
To Thee, to that glorious home where they shall ever gaze on Thee
Jesu, spare these souls which are so dear to Thee
