Eternal God Songtext
von The Cambridge Singers, John Rutter

Eternal God, we give you thanks for music
Blest gift from heaven to all your servants here on earth
In time of joy a crown, in sorrow consolation
Companion through our days of tears and mirth


We give you thanks for every sound of beauty
For sweetest harmony that echoes in our hearts
For melodies that soar on high like birds at morning
For voice and instrument in all their parts

As we are blest, so may our gifts bless others
May hearts be touched and spirits lifted up anew
Let music draw together those who live as strangers
Bring joy to those we love, in thankfulness true

And when at last we come into your kingdom
All discord over and all earthly labor done
Then sound and silence yield before one equal music
And with the Giver shall our souls be one
