Give the King thy judgements - Loosemore, Henry

Preview not generated yet

"This is one of Loosemore’s more elaborate verse anthems. It is likely it was intended to be performed on the ‘King’s Day’. This traditionally coincided with Epiphany, but this was later moved to the separate celebration of the Accession of the Monarch. It may also be performed on any occasion where prayers for the Royal Family are suitable. This includes services of Evensong and Matins where the State Prayers are used."

¶Lyrics / Text

Give the King thy judgements, O God: and thy righteousness unto the King's Son. In his time shall the righteous flourish: Yea, and abundance of peace, so long as the Moon endureth. His Dominion shall be also from the one Sea to the other: and from the flood unto the world's end. His name shall endure for ever; his name shall remain under the Sun among the Posterities: which shall be blessed through him; and all the heathen shall praise him. And blessed be the name of his Majesty for ever: and all the earth shall be filled with his Majesty. Amen.
