from "Hawaiian Psalms Hā (Volume IV)"
by Robert M. Mondoy [21] O bless the Lord, (O, my soul) O bless the Lord, my soul, O bless the Lord, my soul bless the Lord. E ka ʻuhane (oʻu nei) E ka ʻuhane, e hoʻonani i ke Akua 1. You are great indeed, O Lord, my God! You fill the world with awe, you fill the world with awe. You dress yourself in light, in rich majestic light, and like a tent you stretch forth all the sky. Antiphon 2. You have built your house be-yond the rain, You ride the clouds as you would ride a chariot. The wind becomes your wings, the storm becomes your herald, and bolts of light your servant in the sky. Antiphon 3. Fertile is your genius, Lord, my God! You shape each thing you fill the world with what you do, I watch the ocean, see how wide and deep it is, filled with your creatures there, both big and small. Antiphon 4. When they hunger, all look to you, Lord, for food, and you provide them all with your abundance. O when your hand is open, then they feast and have their fill, but when you turn away, they turn in fear. Antiphon 5. If you take away their breath, O God, they drop back to the dust from which they came at first. But when you breathe on them, they rise; and all arise with them, the whole face of the earth comes forth alive! Antiphon Soundclips as available: Listen below |(contact me if needed) |
