Hail, glorious spirits, heirs of light


Hail, glorious spirits, heirs of light,
the high-born sons of fire,
whose souls burn clear, whose flames shine bright:
all joy, yet all desire.

Hail, all you happy souls above,
who make that glorious ring
about the sparkling throne of love,
and there forever sing.
