Britten: Rejoice in the Lamb, Op. 30 - 4. For the Flowers are Great Blessings - Philip Todd, George Malcolm, Бенджамин Бриттен

For the flowers are great blessings

For the flowers are great blessings

For the flowers have their angels

Even the words of God’s creation

For the flower glorifies God

And the root parries the adversary

For there is a language of flowers

For the flowers are peculiarly

The poetry of Christ
