Burwick by Timothy Swan — Lyrics
Now for a tune of lofty praise
To great Jehovah's equal Son!
Awake, my voice, in heavenly lays
Tell the loud wonders he hath done.
Sing how he left the worlds of light,
And the bright robes he wore above;

About Burwick
This stirring anthem, penned by Timothy Swan, begins with a call to lofty praise for Jesus, Jehovah's equal Son. The text describes his joyful descent from the worlds of light, borne on wings of everlasting love, to this sinful earth. It speaks of his coming to atone for Almighty wrath and his ultimate sacrifice, born to die for humanity. Scored for STBB voices, this sacred work in English is a powerful testament to the Christian narrative of redemption and divine love, inviting the choir to proclaim the wonders of Christ's mission with enthusiastic 'heavenly lays'.
