Prayer of the Singers
Celestial music born in human hearts
And raised in simple choral offering
In this still hour when brightly burns the flame,
Our meditation rises up to Thee.
Grant this day that we may chant as one,
Each soul in adoration merge its sound
In strains of an increasing harmony.
Delight and gratitude essential chords
And love that interweaves life's melodies,
Surrender's song, powerful and vast
To soar from this collective entity.
Let not the mind attempt to interfere
In music that transcends the mental plane,
May it lie still and in that stillness find
A resolution and sincere desire
To join this soaring canticle of man
Aspiring.Through symphony and hymn
Fill, as a great diapason swells
O Lord with Thy immortal bliss, transform
Each devotee in the movements of our song.
