Lyrics: 16th century, unknown
Over the mountains, over the waves
Under the fountains, under the graves
Under floods that are so deepest which Neptune obey
Over rock that so steepest light finds the way
CHORUS:
There is no place for the glow worm to lie
There is no place for receipt of a fly
If Thou see Light, kneel and pray
Thou will find own way
You may train the eagle to stoop to your fist
You may inveigle the phoenix of the east
The lioness ye may move her to give o’er her prey
You’ll never stop the light He’ll find the way
CHORUS:
There is no place for the glow worm to lie
There is no place for receipt of a fly
If Thou see Light, kneel and pray
Thou will find own way
Over the mountains, over the waves
Under the fountains, under the graves
Under floods that are so deepest which Neptune obey
Over rock that so steepest light finds the way
CHORUS:
There is no place for the glow worm to lie
There is no place for receipt of a fly
If Thou see Light, kneel and pray
Thou will find own way
