Attleborough by William Billings — Lyrics
To God the only wise,
Our Savior and our King,
Let all the saints below the skies
Their humble praises bring.
'Tis His almighty love,
His counsel, and His care,
Preserves us safe from sin and death,
And every hurtful snare.
He will present our souls,
Unblemished and complete,

About Attleborough
William Billings' Attleborough is a setting for SATB choir of a devotional English text. The words express humble praise to God, the wise Savior and King, whose almighty love preserves humanity from sin and snare. The text looks forward to the saints being presented unblemished and complete before God's glory, with divinely great joys, to bless His grace and make His wonders known. Billings' music here offers a direct and energetic musical expression of these sacred sentiments.
