Knut Nystedt: I Will Greatly Rejoice
The Concordia Choir; Michael Culloton, Conductor
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, for my soul shall exult in my God;
for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
For as the earth brings forth its shoots,
and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up,
so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
to spring forth before all the nations. (Isaiah 61:10-11)
