They visit on their starry wings
The heaven's celestial spheres,
And from the precincts of the clouds
They shed the mourner's tears.
The heaven's celestial spheres,
And from the precincts of the clouds
They shed the mourner's tears.
Yet shall earth see her treasures raised
From out her moldering sod,
Yet shall the sea behold her waves
Yield up their spoil to God.
From out her moldering sod,
Yet shall the sea behold her waves
Yield up their spoil to God.
Yet shall yon heavens, now looking down
On mortal blight and ban,
See immortality come forth
From the great tomb of man.
On mortal blight and ban,
See immortality come forth
From the great tomb of man.
