Lyrics:

Across the dome of deepening blue
Enrobed in heaven's flowing air
Arise ye stately measured lights
Swing ye silver censers

Swing ye silver censers

Begin ye mysteries of night
Who bow in self-forgetfulness

Exult in silent burning joy
Praise the uncreated light
Praise the uncreated light
Thy silent song I cannot hear
Though long your priestly dance observed

Yet deep to deep it speaks to me
An echo of the living Word
An echo of the living Word

One night the clay shall leave my ears
One night this earthen vessel break
And I shall join with burning joy
His praise in thy unending song

Across the dome of deepening blue
Enrobed in heaven's flowing air

Arise ye stately measured lights

Swing ye silver censers

Swing ye silver censers
