¶Lyrics / Text

Of this sang Solomon son of David in spiritual mysteries, wise in songs, ruler of nations, and spoke these words: “This shall be made known: that the King of angels, the Lord mighty in strength, will come springing upon the mountain, leaping the high uplands; hills and downs he will garland with his glory, and redeem the world, all earth's inhabitants, by that glorious leap.” Thus here on earth God's eternal Son sprang in leaps over the high hills, bold across the mountains. So we men should spring in leaps in the thoughts of our hearts from strength to strength, striving after glory, that we may ascend to that highest heaven by holy deeds, where there is joy and bliss, a distinguished company of thegns.
