Give unto the Lord, Op. 74 by Edward Elgar — Lyrics
Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty,
give unto the Lord glory and strength,
give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name.
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
The voice of the Lord is upon the waters:
the God of glory thundereth;
it is the Lord that ruleth the sea.
The voice of the Lord is mighty in operation;
the voice of the Lord is full of majesty;
the voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars.

About Give unto the Lord, Op. 74
Edward Elgar’s Op. 74 captures the awe-inspiring power of the divine. The text, drawn from Psalm 29, vividly describes the voice of the Lord thundering over the waters, breaking cedars, and shaking the wilderness. The anthem sets this dramatic text for SATB choir, beginning with a bold exhortation to give glory and strength to the Lord. Elgar masterfully portrays the majesty and might described in the scripture, creating a powerful and majestic sacred work that calls for a robust choral sound and a confident interpretation.
