Familiar scene,
No dream,
I look ‘cross hills of green and woodland brook,
Then, pulse for pulse, the will speaks soft and low,
On waves of joy the sweet and fearful flow.
Sudden heaven has blazed on me,
Sudden heaven has blazed on me,
I am taken up,
I am shaken up, (sudden heaven)
Where the angels praise in the brilliant daze, (sudden heaven)
Sudden heaven blaze on me.
Black map of woe,
Dark hungry night,
Here in my soul I stop the flight,
The ivy taps upon the windowpane,
I won’t resist the one who calls again.
Sudden heaven has blazed on me,
Sudden heaven has blazed on me,
Bliss too great to tell,
Bright with miracle, (sudden heaven)
As it would ever be safe,
Forever free, (sudden heaven)
Sudden heaven blaze on me.
My Lord, how long will heaven keep the days beyond the midnight sleep?
Sudden heaven has blazed on me, yeah,
Sudden heaven has blazed on me, yeah,
Blazed on me.
