About Almighty God, who by thy Son
This sacred anthem by Orlando Gibbons is a prayer for the clergy and the congregation, suitable for any occasion when one might pray for the guidance and diligent preaching of Bishops and Pastors. The text implores God to grant them gifts, that they might faithfully lead their flocks, and that the people might obediently follow God's word, ultimately receiving the crown of everlasting glory. Composed for SAATB voices, this piece offers a rich contrapuntal texture, characteristic of English anthem writing. Its solemn and devotional nature makes it an ideal choice for services where a prayer for spiritual leadership and faithful adherence to doctrine is central.
