Let me dwell in your great Halls
Let me rest in your peace
Let me bask in your brazen light
Let me taste of your relief
And lay me down
To endless sleep
When my soul departs the grave
Will I enter inside the gates?
See, I’m afraid of what you’ll say
“I know you not, depart from me;
Depart, depart; I know you, not.”
Let me dwell in your great Halls
Let me rest in your peace
Let me bask in your brazen light
Let me taste of your relief
And lay me down
To endless sleep
When I arrive, will you look away?
I only want to hear you say
When I arrive, please, don’t look away
I only want to hear you say,
“Well done, well done
My faithful son.”
