Bring us, O Lord God by Charles H. Giffen — Lyrics
Bring us, O Lord God, at our last awakening
into the house and gate of Heaven:
to enter into that gate
and dwell in that house,
where there shall be no darkness nor dazzling,
but one equal light;
no noise nor silence,

About Bring us, O Lord God
This sacred motet, Bring us, O Lord God, is suitable for use at funerals or All Souls' Day services, or indeed at any time of reflection. The text, a prayer for eternal peace and light in the afterlife, is set in English by Charles H. Giffen. The composer explores a range of choral textures, offering options for ATBBB, AATBB, SATBB, and SSATB voicings, allowing directors to choose the combination best suited to their choir. The music aims to capture the solemnity and profound hope expressed in the text, creating a reflective atmosphere for congregational listening or a choir's own contemplation.
