¶Lyrics / Text

While I listen to thy voice, Chloris, I feel my life decay; That powerful noise Calls my fainting soul away. Oh! suppress that magic sound Which destroys without a wound. Peace, Chloris, peace! or singing die, That together you and I To heaven may go; For all we know Of what the blessed do above Is, that they sing and that they love.
