Britten: Rejoice in the Lamb, Op. 30 - 1. Rejoice in God, O Ye Tongues - The Purcell Singers, George Malcolm, Бенджамин Бриттен

Rejoice in God, O ye Tongues;

Give the glory to the Lord

And the Lamb

Nations, and languages

And every Creature

In which is the breath of Life

Let man and beast appear before him

And magnify his name together

Let Nimrod, the mighty hunter

Bind a leopard to the altar

And consecrate his spear to the Lord

Let Ishmail dedicate a tyger

And give praise for the liberty

In which the Lord has let him at large

Let Balaam appear with an ass

And bless the Lord his people

And his creatures for a reward eternal

Let Daniel come forth with a lion

And praise God with all his might

Through faith in Christ Jesus

Let Ithamar minister with a chamois

And bless the name of Him

That cloatheth the naked

Let Jakim with the satyr

Bless God in the dance

Dance, dance, dance

Let David bless with the bear

The beginning of victory to the Lord

To the Lord the perfection of excellence

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah for the heart of God

And from the hand of the artist inimitable

And from the echo of the heavenly harp

In sweetness magnifical and mighty

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
