When the lamp is shattered   
The light in the dust lies dead   
When the cloud is scattered   
The rainbow's glory is shed

When my friends were all gone
I was down an out down and out
I saw Jesus Christ 
Walking through the crowd
   
When the lute is broken          
Sweet tones are remembered not   
When the lips have spoken   
Loved accents are soon forgot

When my friends were all gone
I was down an out down and out
I saw Jesus Christ 
Walking through the crowd

As music and splendour   
Survive not the lamp and the lute
The heart's echoes render   
No song when the spirit is mute 

When my friends were all gone
I was down an out down and out
I saw Jesus Christ 
Walking through the crowd
