歌曲歌詞
Rejoice in God O ye tongues give the glory to the Lord and the Lamb
Nations and languages and every Creature in which is the breath of Life
Let man and beast appear before him and magnify his name together
Let Nimrod the mighty hunter bind a Leopard to the altar and consecrate his spear to the Lord
Let Ishmael dedicate a Tyger and give praise for the liberty in which the Lord has let him at large
Let Balaam appear with an Ass and bless the Lord his people and his creatures for a reward eternal
Let Daniel come forth with a Lion and praise God with all his might through faith in Christ Jesus
Let Ithamar minister with a Chamois and bless the name of Him that clotheth the naked
Let Jakim with the Satyr bless God in the dance
Treble Solo
For I will consider my Cat Jeoffry
For he is the servant of the Living God duly and daily serving him
For at the first glance of the glory of God in the East he worships in his way
For this is done by wreathing his body seven times round with elegant quickness
For he knows that God is his Saviour
For God has blessed him in the variety of his movements
For there is nothing sweeter than his peace when at rest
For I am possessed of a cat surpassing in beauty from whom I take occasion to bless Almighty God
Alto Solo
For the Mouse is a creature of great personal valour
If you will let her go I will engage you as prodigious a creature as you are
For the Mouse is a creature of great personal valour
For the Mouse is of an hospitable disposition
Tenor Solo
For the flowers are great blessings
For the flowers have their angels even the words of God's Creation
For the flower glorifies God and the root parries the adversary
For there is a language of flowers
For flowers are peculiarly the poetry of Christ
Chorus
For I am under the same accusation with my Saviour -
For they said he is beside himself
For the officers of the peace are at variance with me and the watchman smites me with his staff
For Silly Fellow Silly Fellow is against me and belongeth neither to me nor to my family
For I am in twelve HARDSHIPS but he that was born of a virgin shall deliver me out of all
Recitative
Bass Solo
And Chorus
For H is a spirit and therefore he is God
For K is king and therefore he is God
For L is love and therefore he is God
For M is musick and therefore he is God
For the instruments are by their rhimes
For the Shawm rhimes are lawn fawn moon boon and the like
For the harp rhimes are sing ring string and the like
For the cymbol rhimes are bell well toll soul and the like
For the flute rhimes are tooth youth suit mute and the like
For the Bassoon rhimes are pass class and the like
For the dulcimer rhimes are grace place beat heat and the like
For the Clatinet rhimes are clean seen and the like
For the trumpet rhimes are sound bound soar more and the like
For the TRUMPET of God is a blessed intelligence and so are all the instruments in HEAVEN
For GOD the father Almighty playes upon the HARP of stupendous magnitude and melody
For at that time malignity ceases and the devils themselves are at peace
For this time is perceptible to man by a remarkable stillness and serenity of soul
Hallelujah from the heart of God and from the hand of the artist inimitable and from the echo of the heavenly harp in sweetness magnifical and mighty
