Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom by Ernest Farrar — Lyrics
Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom,
who knowest our necessities before we ask,
and our ignorance in asking;
we beseech thee to have compassion upon our infirmities;
and those things, which for our unworthiness we dare not,

About Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom
Ernest Farrar's Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom is a sacred anthem for SATB choir, sung in English. The text is a prayer for divine assistance in our infirmities and ignorance, beseeching God to grant those things which we dare not, or cannot, ask for ourselves, for the sake of Jesus Christ. Farrar's setting likely complements the earnest supplication of the words with a suitably devotional musical character. This piece is appropriate for services or concerts where profound theological reflection is desired.
