A New Commandment by William Mundy — Lyrics
A new commandment give I unto you, saith the Lord, that ye love together, as I have loved you, that e'en so ye love one another.
By this shall ev'ry man know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
About A New Commandment
William Mundy sets the words of Jesus from the Gospel of John, where he declares that love for one another is the defining characteristic of his followers. This setting for SATB voices is a powerful and direct affirmation of this central Christian tenet. The English text is treated with clarity and devotion, allowing the simple yet profound message to resonate. As a sacred anthem, it is suitable for a variety of church services where the theme of unity and mutual love is being explored. The direct address of the composer to the singers and listeners alike makes it an accessible yet moving choice for a choir.
