Die Allmacht

(Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Groß ist Jehova, der Herr! denn Himmel und Erde verkünden
Seine Macht! - Du hörst sie im brausenden Sturm, in des Waldstroms
Lautaufrauschendem Ruf, in des grünenden Waldes Gesäusel;
Siehst sie in wogender Saaten Gold, in lieblicher Blumen
Glühendem Schmelz, im Glanz des sternebesäeten Himmels!
Furchtbar tönt sie im Donnergeroll, und flammt in des Blitzes
Schnellhinzuckendem Flug; doch kündet das pochende Herz dir
Fühlbarer noch Jehova's Macht, des ewigen Gottes,
Blickst du flehend empor, und hoffst ewigen!

De almacht

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Groot is Jehova, de Heer! Want hemel
En aarde verkondigen zijn macht.
Die hoor j' in de buld'rende storm,
In de woudstroom die luid opbruisend roept.
 
Groot is Jehova, de Heer! Onbegrensd zijn macht,
Je hoort die in het groenende woud dat zacht suizelt;
Ziet haar in 't golvende gouden graan,
In lieflijke bloemen met gloeiende kleur,
In de glans van de sterrenbezaaide hemel!
 
Vrees'lijk dreunt zij in dondergerol,
Zij vlamt in de bliksem, snel verschietende flits.
Toch predikt het kloppende hart je voelbaarder nog
Jehova's macht, de eeuwige godheid,
Als je smeekt naar omhoog en hoopt op milde ontferming.
Groot is Jehova, de Heer! Groot is Jehova, de Heer!
