Almighty God! Chorus Of Priests. (Air.--Mozart.)
By Thomas Moore
Almighty GOD! when round thy shrine The Palm-tree's heavenly branch we twine,[1] (Emblem of Life's eternal ray, And Love that "fadeth not away,") We bless the flowers, expanded all,[2] We bless the leaves that never fall, And trembling say,--"In Eden thus "The Tree of Life may flower for us!" When round thy Cherubs--smiling calm, Without their flames--we wreathe the Palm. Oh God! we feel the emblem true-- Thy Mercy is eternal too, Those Cherubs, with their smiling eyes, That crown of Palm which never dies, Are but the types of Thee above-- Eternal Life, and Peace, and Love!
