Almighty God, unto whom by Joseph Key — Lyrics
Almighty God, unto whom all hearts be open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts, by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy name, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
About Almighty God, unto whom
Joseph Key's Almighty God, unto whom is a four-part (SATB) anthem for mixed choir. The music opens with an immediate sense of devotion, the voices entering in close harmony to reflect the text's petition for divine cleansing and perfect love. The composer uses the familiar words of the traditional English Communion collect to create a moment of introspective prayer. The musical setting is intimate and flowing, building subtly to affirm the desire to magnify God's holy name. Its restrained power makes it suitable for moments of deep contemplation during a communion service or as a devotional anthem.
