"From Whence These Dire Portents Around" from #TheManWhoKnewTooMuch

Hitchcock had the Ambrose Chapel sing the hymn "From Whence These Dire Portents Around" in "The Man Who Knew Too Much"



1 From whence these dire Portents around,
That Earth and Heav'n amaze?
Wherefore do Earthquakes cleave the Ground,
Why hides the sun his Rays?

O save me, whom thou cam'st to save,
Nor bleed nor die in vain!
