《Funeral Ikos》歌词

[00:00:01] Why these bitter words of the dying o brethren

[00:00:02] Which they utter as they go hence

[00:00:20] I am parted from my brethren

[00:00:48] All my friends do I abandon and go hence

[00:00:54] But whither I go that understand I not

[00:01:04] Neither what shall become of me yonder

[00:01:05] Only God who hath summoned me knoweth

[00:01:13] But make commemoration of me with the song

[00:01:13] Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia

[00:02:12] Alleluia

[00:02:16] But whither now go the souls

[00:02:41] How dwell they now together there

[00:02:43] This mystery have I desired to learn but none can impart aright

[00:02:50] Do they call to mind their own people as we do them

[00:02:57] Or have they forgotten all those who mourn them and make the song

[00:03:00] Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia

[00:03:00] Alleluia

[00:03:04] We go forth on the path eternal and as condemned

[00:03:05] With downcast faces present ourselves before the only God eternal

[00:03:07] Where then is comeliness where then is wealth

[00:03:11] Where then is the glory of this world

[00:03:16] There shall none of these things aid us but only to say oft the psalm

[00:03:46] Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia

[00:03:47] Alleluia

[00:03:53] If thou hast shown mercy unto man o man

[00:04:00] That same mercy shall be shown thee there

[00:04:10] And if on an orphan thou hast shown compassion

[00:04:14] The same shall there deliver thee from want

[00:04:19] If in this life the naked thou hast clothed

[00:04:26] The same shall give thee shelter there and sing the psalm

[00:04:36] Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia

[00:04:37] Alleluia

[00:06:12] Youth and the beauty of the body fade at the hour of death

[00:06:17] And the tongue then burneth fiercely and the parched throat is inflamed

[00:06:22] The beauty of the eyes is quenched then the comeliness of the face all altered

[00:06:29] The shapeliness of the neck destroyed and the other parts have become numb

[00:06:31] Nor often say Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia

[00:06:34] Alleluia

[00:06:34] With ecstasy are we inflamed if we but hear that there is light eternal yonder

[00:06:38] That there is paradise wherein every soul of Righteous Ones rejoiceth

[00:06:40] Let us all also enter into Christ that we may cry aloud thus unto God

[00:06:53] Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia

[00:06:54] Alleluia
