from The Terrible Sons
The terrible sons of the mighty race
Shout in thunder the Lord is King,
The angels whose figure the lightnings trace
Flame to the world that the Lord was King,
And seraphs whose stature is one with Space,
Proclaim that the Lord shall be King for ever.
The Lord is King, the Lord was King, the Lord shall be King for ever and ever.
The rushing and undulant sons of fire
Fiercely cry that the Lord is King,
The rustling legions with harp and lyre
Sweetly tell that the Lord was King,
And numberless creatures in ceaseless choir
Chant that the Lord shall be King for ever.
The Lord is King, the Lord was King, the Lord shall be King for ever and ever.
– Eleazar Ben Kalir (AD 600), translated by Israel Zangwill (1864-1927)
