The thunder and lightning gave voice to the night
The little lame child cried aloud in her fright
Hush little baby, a story I'll tell
Of a love that has conquered 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 in the air and justice on the wind
Laughter in the house where the mourners have been
The deaf shall have music, the blind have new eyes
The standards of death taken down by surprise

Alleluia, the great storm is over
Lift up your wings and fly!
Alleluia, the great storm is over
Lift up your wings and fly!

Release for the captives, an end to the wars
New streams in the desert, new hope for the poor
The little lame children will dance as they sing
And play with the bears and the lions in spring

Alleluia, the great storm is over
Lift up your wings and fly!
Alleluia, the great storm is over
Lift up your wings and fly!

Hush little baby, let go of your fear
The lord loves his own and your mother is here
The child fell asleep as the lantern did burn
The mother sang on 'til her bridegroom's return

Alleluia, the great storm is over
Lift up your wings and fly!
Alleluia, the great storm is over
Lift up your wings and fly!
