- Herr Gott! dich loben wir
[2:14]
The first section is stately, with 3 voices on the manuals (HW Holpijp 8' + Octaaf 4'), one on the pedal (Zwelwerk Schalmei 8' coupled to PD Subbas
16'). The second, "Alio Modo," is a breath of fresh contrapuntal air (Zwelwerk Blokfluit 4' + Octaaf 2' coupled to HW Holpijp 8' + Octaaf 4', coupled
to PD Subbas 16'). Impulse reverberation added.

Lord God, Thee praise do we.
Lord, we give thanks to Thee.
Thee, Father, eternal God,
Earth praises, far and broad.
All angels and heaven’s host,
And all that in Thy service boast,
The cherubim and seraphim,
Sing Thee ever with lofty hymn:
Holy is our Lord God!
Holy is our Lord God!
Holy is our Lord God, the God of Sabaoth!
Thy godlike might and lordship go
Wide over heaven and earth below.
--George Macdonald, 1876
