[VILLAGER]
Lord of the heart
Look down upon our earthly pilgrimage
Look down upon us where we walk
From bright dawn to old age
Give light not shed by any sun

[ENSEMBLE]
Lord of the heart!

[VILLAGER]
Not read on any page

[ENSEMBLE]
Lord of the heart!

A bird of passage out of night
Flies in at a lighted door
Flies through and on in its darkened flight
And then is seen no more

This is the life of men on earth
Out of darkness we come at birth
Into a lamplit room and then
Go forward into dark again
Go forward into dark again
