Blessed is the man by George Alexander Macfarren — Lyrics
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life,
which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
About Blessed is the man
George Alexander Macfarren's anthem Blessed is the man sets a passage from the Epistle of James, offering comfort and encouragement to those facing trials. The text speaks of the reward awaiting those who persevere through temptation: the crown of life promised to those who love the Lord. This setting for SATB choir, sung in English, is a fitting choice for services, particularly as an entrance song or during a sermon addressing steadfastness and divine promise. Macfarren's skillful arrangement ensures the message of enduring faith and its ultimate reward is conveyed with clarity and conviction, making it a powerful addition to a choir's repertoire.
