What are the English Lyrics of Pilgrims Chorus in Tannhauser?

Answer 1

• Once more with joy O my home I may meet
• Once more ye fair, flowr'y meadows I greet
• My Pilgrim's staff henceforth may rest
• Since Heaven's sweet peace is within my breast.
• The sinner's 'plaint on high was heard
• On high was heard and answered by the Lord
• The tears I laid before His shrine
• Are turned to hope and joy divine.
• O Lord eternal praise be Thine!
• The blessed source of Thy mercy overflowing
• On souls repentant seek Ye, all-knowing
• Of hell and death, I have no fear
• For thou my Lord are ever near.

Alleluia!

Alleluia!

Alleluia! For evermore.

Answer 2

When I sang in a Male Voice Choir the words, as far as I remember were: "O joy to hail thee, my homeland so sweet, thy lovely meadows with rapture I greet. My pilgrim staff may rest at last, my weary pilgrimage now, is past. In penitence my vows I paid, with sighs and tears my vows I paid; my contrite heart with grace He crowned, the Lord to whom my songs resound, the Lord to whom my songs resound. The light of God on the penitent floweth, in Holy freedom and peace now he goeth. Of Hell and death his fears are o'er, to God be praise for evermore. Hallejuah, hallejuah, to God be praise for evermore; Hallejuah !
