    in vessels of papyrus on the waters!

    a nation (C)mighty and conquering,
    whose land the rivers divide.

    you who dwell on the earth,
when (D)a signal is raised on the mountains, look!
    When a trumpet is blown, hear!

“I will quietly look (E)from my dwelling
    like clear heat in sunshine,
    like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”
