Ĉielojn fendu, ho Sinjor'

Representative Text

1. Ĉielojn fendu, ho Sinjor',
Malsupren kuru el la glor'.
Forŝiru,kio estas bar',
Riglil', seruro kaj rempar'.

2. Ĉielan roson sendu, Di',
En ros' defluu, ho Mesi'.
Verŝu, nubar', per pluva vom'
La reĝon de l' Jakoba dom'.

3. Ho tero, ĝermu, ĝermu, grund',
La mond' verdiĝu en abund'.
Ĉi tiun floron nasku, ter',
El tero saltu, Sav-esper'.

4. Ho kie restas Vi, konsol'?
Al Vi ja fidas mond-popol'.
Do venu de l' plej alta hal',
Konsolu nin en larmo-val'.

5. Ho bela stelo, klara sun',
Ni volus Vin rigardi nun.
Leviĝu, sun'; sen via bril'
Suspiras ni ja en ekzil'.

6. Mizer' ĉi tie nia sort';
Minacas nin eterna mort'.
Konduku nin el pek-malben'
Per forta man' al hejm-festen'.
