Caledonia by Samuel Babcock — Lyrics
I will praise thee every day
Now thine anger’s turned away!
Comfortable thoughts arise
From the bleeding sacrifice.

About Caledonia
Samuel Babcock's Caledonia is a sacred piece for STB voices. The text speaks of profound relief and spiritual renewal, moving from a state of divine displeasure to one of comfort and peace. The lyrics describe the "bleeding sacrifice" as the source of this solace, opening up "wells of free salvation" that provide "streams of life." These powerful images convey the quenching of spiritual thirst and the abundance of God's grace, offering a message of redemption and enduring spiritual satisfaction to the choir and listeners alike.
