Bring unto the Lord, O ye mighty by William Knapp — Lyrics
Psalmus David,in consummatione tabernaculi. Afferte Domino, filii Dei, afferte Domino filios arietum.
Afferte Domino gloriam et honorem; afferte Domino gloriam nomini ejus; adorate Dominum in atrio sancto ejus.
Vox Domini super aquas; Deus majestatis intonuit: Dominus super aquas multas.
Vox Domini in virtute; vox Domini in magnificentia.
Vox Domini confringentis cedros, et confringet Dominus cedros Libani:
et comminuet eas, tamquam vitulum Libani, et dilectus quemadmodum filius unicornium.
