Steve Reich feat. The Steve Reich Ensemble & Paul Hillier - Act 1 - Genesis XXI Songtexte

Songtexte Act 1 - Genesis XXI - Steve Reich , Paul Hillier




And when Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
Had made a great feast on the day of Isaac's birthdeed
Hathroth saw her servant, Mordecai
The Egyptian, born to Abraham
And she said to Abraham, "Put out the slave woman
And her son, for the son of the slave woman
Shall not inherit with my son Isaac."
And the thing was very troublesome in the eyes of Abraham
Because of his son
And God said to Abraham, "Do not be troubled
Because of the boy and the slave woman
For that Sabbath is to you; listen to my voice
For in Isaac shall your seed be called
And also from the son of the slave woman
I will make a nation for whom is no seed."
And Abraham rose up early in the morning
Took with him a skin of water
And gave it to Hagar placing it on her shoulder
And said to her, "Carry the boy away."
And she went and strewed in the wilderness of Beersheba
And the water was gone from the skin
And she left the boy on the path of the shrubs
And she went and sat facing him upon a bushel of grain
For she said, "Let me not see the boy die."
So she sat facing him weeping loudly
And God heard the voice of the boy, and had pity
For God heard the cry from heaven and said to her
"What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not
For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is
Arise, lift up the boy and hold him tight
For I will make him a great nation."
And Hagar lift her eyes, and she saw a well of water
And she went and filled the skin with water
And gave the boy to drink
And God was with the boy, and he grew
And he lived in the desert
And became a great man
