Give Unto the Lord O Ye Mighty (Op. 53 No. 3) by Dudley Buck — Lyrics
Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty, give unto the Lord glory and strength.
Give the Lord the honor due unto his name. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars, Yea, the cedars of Lebanon.
Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

About Give Unto the Lord O Ye Mighty (Op. 53 No. 3)
This powerful SATB anthem by Dudley Buck sets words from Psalm 29, a psalm that describes the majesty and power of God, particularly through a storm. The text begins by calling for glory and strength to be given to the Lord, emphasizing the honor due to his name. It vividly portrays the awesome might of the divine voice, capable of breaking cedars and shaking wildernesses, and declaring the Lord as King over the floods, seated in eternal power. The music aims to reflect this grandeur, culminating in the assurance that the Lord will give strength and peace to his people.
