Alma Mater (1:23) Tune: Welsh Melody; Text:James Southall Wilson '04 Total Timing: 42:5 Translations Gott in der Natur (God in Nature) (Johann W. L. Gleim) Thomas Marshall, piano Great is the Lord! The heavens without number are the chambers of his citadel; his chariot is the storm and thundering clouds, and lightning is his team of horses. Great is the Lord! The dawn is only a reflection of the hem of his raiments, and his lustre can be compared to the light of the flaming sun at twilight. He looks down on the earth with merciful gaze; it becomes verdant, flourishes and laughs. He chides; fire flows out of the rocks, and sea and heaven shake! Praise the powerful One, the great Lord; you lights of his castle, you multitudes of the sun burn to his honor; you, O earth, sing his praise. Wie Lieblich sind deine Wohnungen (a Hymn after Psalm 83) Elisa Dickon, harp; Thomas Marshall, organ How lovely are Thy dwelling places, O Lord! My soul yearns after the portals of the Lord. My heart rejoices in the living God. As the sparrow finds shelter and the dove refuge from the storm, so I find Thy altars, O Thou my King, Lord and God! Blessed are they who dwell in Thy house; in all eternity do they praise Thee! God loves mercy and truth, and to them who wander without sin he gives grace and glory! Tshotsholoza Buck up! Hey train, bore your way through the mountains from Rhodesia. Keep running through the mountains from Rhodesia. (This freedom song referred originally to Blacks in Rhodesia who hid themselves on trains at their peril to find work in South Africa. It came to be sung as part of the freedom movement in South Africa.) Siyahamba We are marching in the light of God. Sing Joyfully (Psalm 81: 1-4) Sing joyfully unto God our strength. Sing loud unto the God of Jacob. Take the song, and bring forth the timbrel, the pleasant harp and the viol. Blow the trumpet in the new moon, even in the time appointed, and at our feast day. For this is a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob. Das ist ein köstliches Ding (Psalm 92) A precious thing it is to give thanks to the Lord and sing praises to Thy name, Thou Most High, in the morning to proclaim Thy grace, in the evening Thy goodness, and in the night Thy truth, for, Lord, Thou wouldsthave me sing joyfully of Thy works; I praise the accomplishments of Thy hands. Lord, how great are Thy works. The righteous will flourish as a palm tree and will grow as a cedar in Lebanon; and when they become even so old, yet will they continue to bloom and flourish and make known Thy goodness. It is my wish to sing to Thee, Thou faithful God. It is a precious thing to give thanks to Thee, my God. Regina Coeli Joanne Dadd, soprano; Margaret Walsh, alto Jung Woo Lee, tenor; Brian Welty, bass Members of the William and Mary Symphony Orchestra Queen of Heaven, be glad! Alleluia.
