Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
The thunder and lightning gave voice to the night
The little, lost child cried aloud in her fright
"Hush, little baby, a story I will tell
Of a love that has vanquished the powers of hell"
Alleluia, the great storm is over
Lift up your wings and fly
Alleluia, the great storm is over, lift up your wings and fly
Sweetness on the air and justice on the wind
Laughter in the house where the mourners had been
The deaf shall have music, the blind have new eyes
The standards of death taken down by surprise
CHORUS
Release for the captives, an end to the wars
Streams in the desert, new hope for the poor
The little, lost children shall dance as they sing
And play with the bears and the lions in the spring
CHORUS
"Hush, little baby, let go of your fears
The Lord loves his own and your mother is here"
The babe fell asleep as the lantern did burn
The mother kept on singing 'til her bridegroom's return
