112Β βThe Last Words of Copernicusβ led at the 24th UK Sacred Harp Convention in Bristol.
Words:
Ye golden lamps of heavβn farewell With all your feeble light; Farewell, thou ever-changing moon, Pale empress of the night.
And thou refulgent orb of day, in brighter flames arrayed; My soul, which springs beyond thy sphere, No more demands thy aid.
