കൃ-പയേറും ആട്ടിടയൻ

Representative Text

1 കൃ-പയേറും ആട്ടിടയൻ
തേടുന്നു തൻ ആടെ.
മലകളിൽ, താഴ് വാരത്തിൽ
പാറയിടുക്കിലും.

2 കണ്ടെത്തുമ്പോൾ എന്തു മോദം
ഇടയൻ തന്നുള്ളിൽ!
കോരിയെടു-ക്കും കൈകളിൽ

3 തൻ ആനന്ദം പങ്കുവയ്പ്പാൻ
ഭവനത്തിൽ ചെല്ലും.
നീതിമാന്മാർ ആനന്ദിക്കും
ഇടയനെ കാണും.

4 പാപി മനം തിരിഞ്ഞിപ്പോൾ
താഴ്മയായ് യാചിച്ചാൽ.
സ്വർഗൃഹത്തിൽ ചേർത്തീടുമേ
എന്തു മോദം വിണ്ണിൽ!

AZMON

Lowell Mason (PHH 96) adapted AZMON from a melody composed by Carl G. Gläser in 1828. Mason published a duple-meter version in his Modern Psalmist (1839) but changed it to triple meter in his later publications. Mason used (often obscure) biblical names for his tune titles; Azmon, a city south of C…
