Benjamin Britten — Rejoice in God O ye Tongues

Rejoice in God, O ye Tongues; Give the glory to the Lord And the Lamb Nations, and languages And every Creature In which is the breath of Life Let man and beast appear before him And magnify his name together Let Nimrod, the mighty hunter Bind a leopard to the altar And consecrate his spear to the Lord Let Ishmail dedicate a tyger And give praise for the liberty In which the Lord has let him at large Let Balaam appear with an ass And bless the Lord his people And his creatures for a reward eternal Let Daniel come forth with a lion And praise God with all his might Through faith in Christ Jesus Let Ithamar minister with a chamois And bless the name of Him That cloatheth the naked Let Jakim with the satyr Bless God in the dance Dance, dance, dance Let David bless with the bear The beginning of victory to the Lord To the Lord the perfection of excellence Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah for the heart of God And from the hand of the artist inimitable And from the echo of the heavenly harp In sweetness magnifical and mighty Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
