Behold, God the Lord Passed By (from Elijah)
by Felix Mendelssohn
Behold! God the Lord passed by!
And a mighty wind rent the mountains around,
break in pieces the rocks, break them before the Lord :
but yet the Lord was not in the tempest.
Behold ! God the Lord passed by.
And the sea was upheaved, and the earth was shaken :
but yet the Lord was not in the earthquake.
And after the earthquake there came a fire :
but yet the Lord was not in the fire.
And after the fire there came a still small voice :
and in that still voice, onward came the Lord.
