About Be exalted, O Lord, above the heavens
James Gibb has crafted this powerful SATB anthem on a text drawn from the Psalms. Be exalted, O Lord, above the heavens expresses profound adoration and awe at God's majesty, with lyrics that vividly describe the bounty of the earth – pastures full of sheep and valleys thick with corn. The music reflects the soaring praise of the opening words and the joyful celebration of creation's richness, culminating in a renewed exaltation of the Lord. This is a stirring anthem for mixed voice choir, suitable for services and concerts where themes of divine glory and the blessings of nature are to be explored.
