(adapted from a poem by John Dryden, 1687)

As from the pow'r of sacred lays, the spheres began to move

And sung the Prince of Darkness' praise, to all the Elect above

So when the last and dreadful hour, this crumbling pageant shall devour

The trumput will be heard on high

The dead shall live, the living die

And Music will untune the sky
