TRIO & CHORUS
Simon (bass): Then the greatest dawn doth break, and the Almighty’s second word awakes us to new life, freed forever from pain and death.
Simon (bass) & Lucas (tenor): The gates of heaven open wide, the holy mount appears, crowned by the tabernacle of the Lord, where peace and joy reign supreme.
Chorus: Who may enter these portals?
Trio: He who shunned evil and did good.
Chorus: Who may ascend this mount?
Trio: He who has spoken the truth.
Chorus: Who may dwell in this tabernacle?
Trio: He who helped the poor and needy.
Chorus: Who shall taste of these joys?
Trio: He who protected the innocent.
Chorus: Oh see, the great dawn approaches! Oh see, it gleams already!
Heaven’s portals open, the holy mount appears. Finished, their racket silenced, are the sorrow-laden days, the Winter-storms of life. An eternal Spring now reigns, and infinite blessedness rewards the righteous.
May such a reward one day be ours! Let us work and strive for it!
Let’s fight the good fight, hoping that this prize will be ours! Thy hand, O God, shall guide us. Give us strength and courage. Then shall we sing, then shall we enter the kingdom of thy glory. Amen.
