Full Lyrics
Hark! the vesper hymn is stealing
O’er the waters soft and clear;
Nearer yet and nearer pealing,
And now [Now it] bursts upon the ear.
Jubilate, jubilate, jubilate, Amen!
Farther now, now farther stealing
Soft it fades upon the ear.
Now, like moonlight waves retreating
To the shore it dies along;
Now like angry surges meeting
Breaks the mingled tide of song.
Jubilate, jubilate, jubilate, Amen!
Hush! again like waves retreating
To the shore it dies along.
