About Author of life divine
John Stainer's Author of life divine is a sacred hymn for SATB choir. The text, a prayer for spiritual sustenance, speaks of Christ as the source of life, offering himself as 'mystick wine and everlasting bread'. The lyrics implore God to preserve the life he has given and to nurture believers towards heaven. This hymn embodies a devotional tradition, setting forth a plea for divine guidance and the strengthening power of faith. It is well-suited for services seeking to reflect on themes of communion, spiritual nourishment, and the journey towards eternal life.
