Description

For SAB Choir, Solo trio (SAB), and Organ. A charming verse anthem from the Restoration (1670s) for SAB Choir and solo trio. Just lovely, and an easy anthem for your smaller choir as the refrain repeats after each of the solo sections.

Psalm 57: 8-12

Lyrics

Awake up, my glory; awake, lute and harp: 
I will waken the dawn to praise thee.

I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, 
among the people: 
and I will sing unto Thee among the nations.

For the greatness of Thy mercy 
reacheth the heavens: 
and Thy truth unto the clouds.

Be exalted, O God, 
above the heavens: 
and Thy glory above all the earth.
