Sabbath Psalm 43 (Revision of Giovanni P. Da Palestrina’s hymn ‘The Strife is Over’)
The strife is gone—the trauma done;
The wolves have lost—the Shepherd’s won!
The song of triumph has begun:
Allelujah!
The hellish hordes have done their worst;
But Love proves stronger than the curse;
And rivers from God’s heart outburst!
Allelujah!
Go sow the word and watch it spread:
“Our Lord is risen as He said!”
A Lamb has crushed the serpent’s head!
Allelujah!
Lord, in that flood that poured from You,
My sins are covered through and through;
Today, I wake and drown anew!
Allelujah!
