Buckland by Oliver Brownson — Lyrics
1. The Eternal speaks, all heaven attends;
Who that unhappy race defends
While justice aims the blow.
See nature tremble at their fates;
Death with his iron scepter waits;
Hell opes her adamantine gates,
And triumphs at their woe.

About Buckland
Oliver Brownson’s Buckland sets an English sacred text that begins by describing the awe-inspiring power of the Eternal, and the fear that grips creation when divine justice is about to fall. The words then turn to the astonishing sacrifice of a divine being, who willingly endures the ultimate suffering and loss for others. This SATB setting is a powerful exploration of these profound theological themes. The text grapples with overwhelming power and incomprehensible love, offering a dramatic reflection on sin and redemption.
