Antigamente, levantava-se muito cedo para ouvir o rádio.
Naquele tempo, meu pai, tinha um aparelho de rádio parecido com a da foto. E numas das madrugadas, o rádio, captara uma transmissão andina falada em língua japonesa.
Ainda, deitada na cama, mas, acordada, atenta, ouvia uma voz feminina, que pronunciava a palavra "Iessu-sama".
O que mais me encantou, na verdade, foi a música, ao ponto de pensar alto: como é bela, essa música..
Hoje, sei que aquela programação transmitida era religiosa, e falava de Jesus. A bela música se chamava: "
How Great Thou Art!".
"How Great Thou Art!"
O Lord my God! when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed:
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul! my Savior God, to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze:
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul! my Savior God, to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin:
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul! my Savior God, to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul! my Savior God, to Thee:
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Ps. Originally a Swedish folk melody.
"O Store Gud" by Carl Boberg (1859-1940) was translated by Stuart K. Hine in 1899.
