Almighty God which hast knit together by Robert Ramsey — Lyrics
Almighty God, which hast knit together thine elect
in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of thy Son Christ our Lord:
grant us grace so to follow thy holy saints in all virtuous and godly living,
that we may come to those unspeakable joys

About Almighty God which hast knit together
The words of this anthem express a prayer for grace to follow the example of holy saints, drawing on the text's invocation of God knitting together His elect in the mystical body of Christ. The composer Robert Ramsey, active in the 17th century, sets this profound English text for SSATB voices. As a sacred anthem, it is suitable for liturgical settings. The music is written on a staff, offering a traditional approach to the setting of this prayer for virtuous living and the attainment of heavenly joys.
