Rejoice in the Lamb, Festival Cantata, Op. 30: For the instruments are by their rhimes |
| For the instruments are by their rhimes |
| For the shawm rhimes are lawn fawn and the like |
| For the shawm rhimes are moon boon and the like |
| For the harp rhimes are sing ring and the like |
| For the harp rhimes are ring string and the like |
| For the cymbal rhimes are bell well and the like |
| For the cymbal rhimes are toll soul and the like |
| For the flute rhimes are tooth youth and the like |
| For the flute rhimes are suit mute and the like |
| For the bassoon rhimes are pass class and the like |
| For the dulcimer rhimes are grace place and the like |
| For the clarinet rhimes are clean seen and the like |
| For the trumpet rhimes are sound bound and the like |
| For the trumpet of God is a blessed intelligence |
| And so are all the instruments in Heav’n |
| For God the Father Almighty plays 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 |
