All the ends of the world by William Boyce — Lyrics
About All the ends of the world
William Boyce's setting of All the ends of the world is a powerful anthem for SATBB choir. The Latin text, drawn from Psalm 21, begins with a cry of desolation and suffering but gradually transforms into a profound expression of faith and trust in God's deliverance. The composer's skilful handling of the text, moving from moments of deep anguish to soaring declarations of hope, makes this a compelling piece for sacred occasions. The work's structure allows the choir to explore a wide range of emotional and musical colours, culminating in a powerful affirmation of reliance on the Lord.
