This noble anthem for SATB voices sets a Latin text of ancient provenance, traditionally attributed to the 7th century, and associated with Advent. The words, beginning with a plea to the Creator of the stars and eternal light, recount Christ's redemptive mission, his birth from the Virgin Mary, and the universal dominion of his power. The music adapts this solemn text to a familiar English hymn tune, offering a soaring melody and rich harmonies that convey profound devotion. It is suitable for services of thanksgiving or reflection, its profound theological message resonating through both the original Latin and its English translation.
