nearer yet and nearer pealing

Jubilate amen!
Farther now, now farther stealing
soft it fades upon the ear:
Jubilate amen!

Hark! the vesper hymn is stealing
o'er the waters soft and clear;
nearer yet and nearer pealing
and now bursts upon the ear:
Jubilate amen!
Farther now, now farther stealing
soft it fades upon the ear:
Jubilate amen!

Now like moonlight waves retreating
to the shore, it dies along;
now like angry surges meeting
breaks the mingled tide of song:
Jubilate amen!
Hush! again, like waves retreating
to the shore, it dies along:
Jubilate amen!

Norwegian.png Norwegian text Norwegian metrical translation by Johan Diederich Behrens

Over stille vande sangen,
dæmpet til mit øre når:
mer og mer sig hæver klangen,
jublende mot sky den går:
Jubilate amen!
Atter over vandet sangen
dæmpet til mit øre når:
Jubilate amen!

Snart som lette bølgers susen,
under måneglans mot strand,
snart som drøn fra brændings brusen
toner sangen ind mot land:
Jubilate amen!
Atter som en sagte susen
toner det herind mot land:
Jubilate amen!

Icelandic.png Icelandic text Icelandic metrical translation by Sverrir Pálsson

Yfir kyrran, svalan sæinn
söngur berst að eyrum mér.
Stígur, hljómar út um æginn,
allt til skýja lyftir sér.
Jubilate amen!
Aftur milt um svalan sæinn
söngur berst að eyrum mér.
Jubilate amen!

Ómar létt sem öldur hrynji
upp að strönd í kvöldsins blæ
eða sterkt sem stormur drynji,
steypist boðaföll um sæ.
Jubilate amen!
Aftur milt sem öldur hrynji
ómar hann í kvöldsins blæ.
Jubilate amen!
