The thunder and lightening gave voice to the night The little small child cried out in her fright Hush little baby a story I will tell Of a love that has vanquished the powers of hell Chorus Hallelujah the great storm is over Lift up your wings and fly Hallelujah the great storm 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 light The standards of death taken down by surprise Chorus Hallelujah the great storm is over Release for the captives an end to the wars Streams in the desert new hope for the poor Little small children shall dance as they sing And play with the bears and the lions in Spring Chorus Hallelujah the great storm is over Hush little baby let go of your fears Father loves his own and your mother is here The babe fell asleep as the lantern did burn The mother sang on 'till the bride groom's return Chorus Hallelujah the great storm is over . . .
