Always for All Things - Yolanda Lichty

Always for All Things Music: Yolanda Lichty Text: Christopher Good Cantate Domino Ensemble www.cantatedomino.net Lyrics: Blow, silver trumpet—lead a loud refrain Full of the glory of your perfect day. Let four strong winds carry your song away Until all worlds repeat its joyous strain. Throb, golden lyre, with warm and welcome ring, Through unknown spheres ablaze with cherubim, The ecstasy of a thrice-holy hymn Unmatched in time and place by those who sing. Sing Him to whom your melodies belong— Sing Him of whom their endless echoes cry. Pour out His praise to infinite extents Whose smile is twice the measure of your song, Whose song, coursing through earth to highest sky, Ravishes tired and tuneless instruments.
