Kublai Khan: Yaitopya

 

…A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw:
It was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song,
To such a deep delight ‘twould win me,
That with music loud and long,
I would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome! those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.

From: Kubla Khan by Coleridge ( 1772- 1834)

Princes shall come out of Egypt;
Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.

Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth;
O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:

To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens,
which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice,
and that a mighty voice.

Ascribe ye strength unto God:
his excellency is over Israel,
and his strength is in the clouds.

O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places:
the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power
unto his people. Blessed be God.

Psalm 68:31-36     (KJV)

 

Psalm/Salmo 68

Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered:
let them also that hate him flee before him.
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away:
as wax melteth before the fire,
so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God:
yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name:
extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH,
and rejoice before him…

…They have seen thy goings, O God;
even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
The singers went before,
the players on instruments followed after;
among them were the damsels playing timbrels.
Bless ye God in the congregations,
even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.

Levanta-se Deus! Sejam dispersos os seus inimigos;
fujam de diante dele os que o odeiam!
Como é impelida a fumaça, assim tu os impeles;
como a cera se derrete diante do fogo,
assim pereçam os ímpios diante de Deus.
Mas alegrem-se os justos,
e se regozijem na presença de Deus,
e se encham de júbilo.
Cantai a Deus, cantai louvores ao seu nome;
louvai aquele que cavalga sobre as nuvens,
pois o seu nome é Já;
exultai diante dele…

…Viu-se, ó Deus, a tua entrada,
a entrada do meu Deus, meu Rei, no santuário.
Iam na frente os cantores,
atrás os tocadores de instrumentos,
no meio as donzelas que tocavam adufes.
Bendizei a Deus nas congregações, ao Senhor,
vós que sois da fonte de Israel.

From Yaitopya to YOU
by way of Samuel Taylor Coleridge,
only on Connect/Hook! 

Let’s start 2012 out with this lovely Psalm sung by Senait Engda.
And may Ethiopia stretch out her hands according to the Scriptures in this new year:

Princes shall come out of Egypt;
Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.

Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth;
O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:

To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens,
which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice,
and that a mighty voice.

Ascribe ye strength unto God:
his excellency is over Israel,
and his strength is in the clouds.

O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places:
the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power
unto his people.

Blessed be God.
