[00:01.75]Composed by：Edward Elgar
[00:14.04]I see not those false spirits shall I see
[00:26.38]My dearest master when I reach his throne
[00:42.76]Yes-for one moment thou shalt see thy Lord
[01:01.83]One moment but thou knowest not my child
[01:12.54]What thou dost ask that sight of the most fair
[01:27.05]Will gladden thee but it will pierce thee too
[01:40.77]Thou speakest darkly angel and an awe
[01:53.73]Falls on me and a fear lest I be rash
[02:12.67]There was a mortal who is now above
[02:18.77]In the mid glory he when near to die
[02:27.98]Was given communion with the crucified
[02:39.30]Such that the master's very wounds were stamped
[02:47.94]Upon his flesh and from the agony
[02:56.64]Which thrilled through body and soul in that embrace
[03:07.05]Learn that the flame of the everlasting love
[03:18.19]Doth burn ere it transform
