O ye Spirits and Souls of the Righteous, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.
Ye Righteous Souls in Paradise,
Be ceaseless praise your blissful dower;
No sorrows cloud your tranquil hour,
No sins entangle or surprise;
No ruffling fears or doubts arise,
No pain disturbs, no dangers lower:
Ye Righteous Souls in Paradise,
Be ceaseless praise your blissful dower.
Be ceaseless praise your blissful dower;
No sorrows cloud your tranquil hour,
No sins entangle or surprise;
No ruffling fears or doubts arise,
No pain disturbs, no dangers lower:
Ye Righteous Souls in Paradise,
Be ceaseless praise your blissful dower.

What speechless glories meet your eyes,
What joys surround you, and embower;
How ye expand, like some fair flower,
Beneath those soft celestial skies:
Ye Righteous Souls in Paradise,
Be ceaseless praise your blissful dower.
What joys surround you, and embower;
How ye expand, like some fair flower,
Beneath those soft celestial skies:
Ye Righteous Souls in Paradise,
Be ceaseless praise your blissful dower.
