On Great Lone Hills - USMA Cadet Glee Club, Sibelius, Jean lyrics
On great, lone hills, where tempests brood and gather,
Primeval Earth, against primeval sky,
We, faring forth, possessed by fervent longing,
Have found a throne, eternal and high,
Have knelt at last in wordless adoration,
Till fire and whirlwind have both gone by.
With ardent song we greet the golden morning.
By faith upborne, remember not the night.
The whole wide world, triumphant hails the dawning.
God walks abroad in garments of might,
The hills, behold, are now a path of splendor,
Transfigured all, and all crowned with light.
by Amy sherman Bridgman

Fantastic! I have heard these lyrics on Eugene Ormandys' rendering of Sibelius' Finlandia, as sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir (Columbia Records, MS 6196, 1960) but was never able to fully understand them. Now I do, what an incredibly heart-moving lyric!
