Franz Schubert
Die Allmacht
(The Almighty)
Sung by Jessye Norman
Great is Jehovah, the Lord! For heaven
and earth proclaim his power.
You hear it in the raging storm,
In the loud, resounding roar of the forest storms.
Great is Jehovah, the Lord! Great is His Power!
You hear it in the rustling of the green forest;
You see it in the gold of the waving cornfields,
In the glowing blooms of lovely flowers,
In the glitter of the star-filled heavens.
Terrible it sounds in the rolling thunder,
And it flames in the swift flashing lightning streaks.
Yet still more perceptible, your beating heart proclaims
The power of God, of the eternal God,
When you look up in prayer in hope for grace and mercy,
Great is Jehovah the Lord! Great is Jehovah the Lord!
