Be strong and of a good courage by George Alexander Macfarren — Lyrics
Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed:
for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
About Be strong and of a good courage
George Alexander Macfarren was a distinguished composer and professor of music at Cambridge. This setting of biblical words, drawn from Joshua, is for SATB choir and offers a powerful message of divine reassurance. The text, "Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest," is delivered with compelling conviction. The music reflects the unwavering faith and resolute spirit inherent in the scripture, making it a stirring choice for a choir looking for an anthem of encouragement and steadfastness.
