"The earth trembled", Z.197 - Tessa Bonner/Gabrieli/Paul McCreesh/Timothy Roberts

Lyrics by：Francis Quarles

Composed by：Henry Purcell

The earth trembled and heav'ns clos'd eye

Was loath to see the Lord of glory die

The sky was clad in mourning and the spheres

Forgot their harmony the clouds dropp'd tears

Th' ambitious dead arose to give him room

And ev'ry grave did gape to be his tomb

Th' affrighted heav'ns sent down elegious thunder

The world's foundations loos'd to lose its founder

Th' impatient temple rent her veil in two

To teach our hearts what our sad hearts should do

Can senseless things do this and shall not I

Melt one poor drop to see my Saviour die

Drill forth my tears and trickle one by one

Till you have pierc'd this heart of mine this stone
