[Verse 1]
Familiar scene
No dream, I look
'Cross hills of green
And woodland brook
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Then, pulse for pulse, the will speaks soft and low
On waves of joy, the sweet and fearful flow
[Chorus 1]
Sudden heaven has blazed on me
Sudden heaven has blazed on me
I am taken up, I am shaken up
(Sudden heaven)
Where the angels praise in the brilliant day
(Sudden heaven)
Sudden heaven has blazed on me
[Verse 2]
Black map of woe
Dark hungry night
Here in my soul
I stop the flight
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The ivy taps upon the window pane
I won't resist the One who calls again
[Chorus 2]
Sudden heaven has blazed on me
Sudden heaven has blazed on me
Bliss too great to tell, bright with miracle
(Sudden heaven)
As it would ever be, safe, forever free
(Sudden heaven)
Sudden heaven has blazed on me
[Verse 3]
My Lord, how long
Will heaven keep
The days beyond
The midnight sleep?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Then, pulse for pulse, the will speaks soft and low
On waves of joy, the sweet and fearful flow
[Chorus 1]
Sudden heaven has blazed on me
Sudden heaven has blazed on me
I am taken up, I am shaken up
(Sudden heaven)
Where the angels praise in the brilliant day
(Sudden heaven)
Sudden heaven has blazed
Sudden heaven has blazed on me
