Mary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Round Thy throne of light
Angel harps, forever ringing
Rest not day nor night
Thousands only live to bless Thee
And confess thee Lord of might
Thou who art beyond the farthest
Can it be that Thou regardest
Songs of sinful man?
Can we feel that Thou art near us
And wilt hear us? Yes, we can
For we know Thy love rejoices
O'er each work of Thine
Thou didst ears and hands and voices
For Thy praise combine
Craftsman's art and music's measure
For Thy pleasure Lord of might
In thy house, great God, we offer
Of Thine own to Thee
And for Thine acceptance proffer
All unworthily
Hearts and minds and hands and voices
In our choicest psalmody
Honor, glory, might, and merit
Thine shall ever be
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
Blessed Trinity
Of the best that Thou hast given
Earth and heaven render Thee
"The Voice" by Mary is a song that reflects on the beauty and power of angelic voices singing praises to God. The lyrics start by describing the heavenly scene with angel voices singing around God's throne of light, their harps ringing ceaselessly day and night. The song acknowledges that there are thousands of angels whose sole purpose is to bless and confess the Lord's might.
The next section of the song contemplates the incredible notion that God, who is beyond mortal comprehension, would pay attention to the songs of sinful humanity. It expresses the belief that God is near us and will hear us when we call upon Him. The song reinforces this by recognizing that God takes joy in all His creations, having given us ears, hands, and voices as instruments of praise. Everything we create, both in craftsmanship and music, is for God's pleasure.
The last part of the song is a humble offering to God. It emphasizes that in His house, we bring offerings of what He has already given us, though we are unworthy. We present our hearts, minds, hands, and voices as our choicest form of worship, pouring out our love and adoration to the Blessed Trinity. The lyrics conclude by acknowledging that the best offerings Earth and heaven can render belong to God.
