Blessed be Thou, O Lord God by Charles Harford Lloyd — Lyrics
Blessed be thou, O Lord God... for ever and ever.
Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is Thine;
Thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as Head above all.

About Blessed be Thou, O Lord God
Charles Harford Lloyd composed this anthem for SATB choir. The text is a powerful expression of praise and adoration, drawing on Old Testament verses to declare God's supreme greatness, power, glory, victory, and majesty. It affirms that all things in heaven and earth belong to God and that all riches and honour come from Him. The music would have been conceived to reflect the solemnity and grandeur of these scriptural pronouncements, suitable for sacred occasions.
