And I saw another angel, Op. 37, No. 1 by Charles Villiers Stanford — Lyrics
And I saw another angel, ascending from the east,
having the seal of the living God;
and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, saying,
Hurt not the earth neither the sea, nor the trees,
till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
And lo, a great multitude, which no man could number,
of all nations and kindreds and people, and tongues,
stood before the throne and before the Lamb,
clothed with white robes, and palms were in their hands;

About And I saw another angel, Op. 37, No. 1
Charles Villiers Stanford's anthem, And I saw another angel, Op. 37, No. 1, sets a powerful passage from the Book of Revelation. Scored for SATB choir, this English text depicts a vision of angelic activity and a vast multitude offering praise. The music follows the dramatic unfolding of the text, from the angel's command to protect the earth until God's servants are sealed, to the triumphant acclamation of salvation by the countless gathered souls. Stanford captures the awe and glory of the vision through rich harmonies and broad melodic lines, making this a stirring addition to sacred choral repertoire.
