I know that the Lord is great by Bruno Siegfried Huhn — Lyrics
Alleluja. Laudate nomen Domini; laudate, servi, Dominum:
qui statis in domo Domini, in atriis domus Dei nostri.
Laudate Dominum, quia bonus Dominus; psallite nomini ejus, quoniam suave.
Quoniam Jacob elegit sibi Dominus; Israël in possessionem sibi.
Quia ego cognovi quod magnus est Dominus, et Deus noster prae omnibus diis.
Omnia quaecumque voluit Dominus fecit, in caelo, in terra, in mari
et in omnibus abyssis.
Educens nubes ab extremo terrae, fulgura in pluviam fecit;
qui producit ventos de thesauris suis.
Qui percussit primogenita Aegypti, ab homine usque ad pecus.
Et misit signa et prodigia in medio tui, Aegypte: in Pharaonem,
et in omnes servos ejus.

About I know that the Lord is great
Sing this SATB anthem during services of praise and thanksgiving. The text, in both Latin and English, draws from Psalm 135, exalting God's might and majesty over all creation and His chosen people. The composer Bruno Huhn crafts a powerful setting that builds, moving from contemplation to exultation. Its soaring lines and rich harmonies are well-suited for a choir seeking a substantial anthem with a clear, uplifting message. The piece offers a profound declaration of faith, ideal for moments when a choir wishes to express awe and gratitude for the divine power. It is a fitting choice for congregations seeking a robust musical expression of scripture.
