Give unto the Lord by Charles Wakefield Cadman — 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.

About Give unto the Lord
Charles Wakefield Cadman's Give unto the Lord is a majestic SATB anthem suitable for a grand occasion or a special service. Set in both Latin and English, the text draws from Psalm 29, a powerful declaration of God's might and glory, often referred to as the Psalm of the Sanctuary. The music likely reflects the dramatic and awe-inspiring nature of the lyrics, with the composer employing the full range of the choir to convey the "voice of the Lord" in its many manifestations – over the waters, in thunder, and in its formidable strength. This anthem offers a rich and engaging musical experience for both choir and congregation, exploring themes of divine power and solemn adoration.
