Lyics

Hark! the vesper hymn is stealing,

O'er the wa-ters soft and clear;

Hal-le-lu-jah! A-men! A-men!

Nearer yet and nearer pealing, 

Now it burst up-on the ear:

Hal-le-lu-jah! A-men! A-men!

Hal-le-lu-jah! Hal-le-lu-jah! Hal-le-lu-jah! A-men;

Hal-le-lu-jah! A-men! A-men!

Farther now, now farther stealing,

Soft it fades up-on the ears;

Hal-le-lu-jah! A-men! A-men!

Hal-le-lu-jah! Hal-le-lu-jah! Hal-le-lu-jah! A-men.



Now like moonlight waves retreating,

To the shore it dies along:

Now like angry surges meeting,

Breaks the mingled tide of song:

Hallelujah, Amen.

Hush! Again, like waves retreating,

To the shore it dies along:

Hallelujah, Amen.
