Zadok |
Golden columns, fair and bright, |
Catch the mortals’ ravish’d sight; |
Round their sides ambitious twine |
Tendrils of the clasping vine; |
Cherubims stand there display’d, |
O’er the ark their wings are laid: |
Ev’ry object swells with state, |
All is pious, all is great. |
Opera Stanford |
