Lyics

Hark!  The vesper hymn is stealing O'er the waters, soft and clear;

Nearer yet and nearer pealing,

Now it bursts upon the ear:

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen!

Farther now, now farther stealing, 

Soft it fades upon this ear.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen!



Now, like moonlight waves retreating,

To the shore it dies along;

Now, like angry surges meeting,

Breaks the mingled tide of song:

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen!

Hush! Again, like waves retreating,

To the shore it dies along.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen!
