The Great Storm

      D                         G 
The thunder and lightning gave 
           D
voice to the night
                   Bm          G  
The little, lost child cried aloud
          D
 in her fright
                        G          
"Hush, little baby, a story I will 
 D
tell
                    Bm           
Of a love that has vanquished the 
  G         A
powers of hell"
                 D               A
        CHORUS:  Alleluia, the 
            Bm
great storm is over
             D        G          
        Lift up your wings and 
A     A7
fly
        D               A         
        Alleluia, the great storm 
   Bm         D        G          
is over, lift up your wings and

  D                       G       
Sweetness on the air and justice 
       D
on the wind
                 Bm            
Laughter in the house where the 
   G            D
mourners had been
                     G             
The deaf shall have music, the 
           D
blind have new eyes
                Bm            G   
The standards of death taken down 
        A
by surprise
        CHORUS
   D                         G    
Release for the captives, an end 
       D
to the wars
                Bm          G     
Streams in the desert, new hope 
       D
for the poor
The little, lost children shall 
 G             D
dance as they sing
                 Bm            
And play with the bears and the 
  G              A
lions in the spring
        CHORUS
  D                      G        
"Hush, little baby, let go of your
   D
 fears
                 Bm            
The Lord loves his own and your 
  G         D
mother is here"
                             G     
The babe fell asleep as the lantern
      D
 did burn
                    Bm             
The mother kept on singing 'til her
   G             A
 bridegroom's return
        CHORUS 2X (last time resolve
 to a 'D' chord)
