Original text and translations
English text
Hark! the vesper hymn is stealing
O’er the waters soft and clear;
Nearer yet and nearer pealing,
Now is bursts upon the ear.
Jubilate, jubilate, jubilate, Amen!
Farther now, now farther stealing
Soft it fades upon the ear.
Now, like moonlight waves retreating
To the shore it dies along;
Now like angry surges meeting
Breaks the mingled tide of song.
Jubilate, jubilate, jubilate, Amen!
Hush! again like waves retreating
To the shore it dies along.
