X. Credo - 3. Trope: “Hurry” by Leonard Bernstein Lyrics

[MEZZO-SOPRANO SOLO] (interrupting tape)
You said you’d come again
When?
When things got really rough
So you made us all suffer
While they got a bit rougher
Tougher and tougher
Well, things are tough enough
So when’s your next appearance on the
Scene?
I’m ready
Hurry
Went to church for clearance and I’m clean
And steady
Hurry
While I’m waiting I can get my bags packed
Flags flown
Shoes blacked
Wings sewn on
Oh don’t you worry:
I could even learn to play the harp
You know it
Show it
Hurry
Hurry and come again
(Tape Sevеn.)

[CHOIR]
Sedet ad dextеram Patris
Et iterum venturus est cum gloria judicare
Vivos et mortuos:
Cujus regni non erit finis
