A Simple Song from Mass by Leonard Bernstein

Daniel Jacky, piano
Ada Brown, soprano
​
Sing God a simple song: Lauda, Laudē
Make it up as you go along: Lauda, Laudē
Sing like you like to sing.
God loves all simple things,
For God is the simplest of all,
For God is the simplest of all.

I will sing the Lord a new song
To praise God, to bless God, to bless the Lord.
I will sing Gods’ praises while I live
All of my days.

Blessed is the one who loves the Lord,
Blessed is the one who praises God.
Lauda, Lauda, Laudē
And walks in Gods’ ways.

I will lift up my eyes
To the hills from whence comes my help.
I will lift up my voice to the Lord
Singing Lauda, Laudē.

For the Lord is my shade,
Is the shade upon my right hand,
And the sun shall not smite me by day
Nor the moon by night.

Blessed is the one  who loves the Lord,
Lauda, Lauda, Laudē,
And walks in Gods’ ways.
Lauda, Lauda, Laudē,
Lauda, Lauda di da di day. All of my days.
