(\'Lord of beauty, thine the splendour\')

Psalm 29

*********

Give to the LORD, O ye mighty

Glory and strength His e\'er be

Give Him the glory due His name

It a name of endless fame

Worship the LORD in the beauty

Of holiness, humble, free

 

The voice of the LORD is upon

The waters, glorious, none

Like to Him, His voice does thunder

People hear it, all, each one

His voice powerful, majestic

His storm-clouds they dark and thick

 

Voice of the LORD breaks the cedars

At His voice the forest stirs

Skips like a calf, like unicorn* (*e.g. rhino or ox)

Full of new life, as new-born

His voice divides the flames of fire* (*e.g. lightning)

Spoke into being each star

 

Voice of the LORD shakes wilderness

Makes the hinds* give birth, no less (*deer)

Powerful to forests destroy

In His temple all employ

Their voices to praise His glory

Now and to eternity

 

The LORD sits upon the flood, yes

Sits King for e\'er, we confess

The LORD will to His people give

strength and power, they shall live

He will bless His people with peace

His grace to us ne\'er shall cease
