Consider the Lilies

Henry Gough Trembath’s setting of Consider the Lilies is an anthem for SATB choir, sung in English. The text, drawn from the Sermon on the Mount, uses the natural beauty of the lilies to meditate on faith and trust. It speaks of how even the most magnificent earthly beauty cannot match the simple, divine provision for nature. Trembath’s music seeks to capture the gentle, reflective nature of the text, offering a thoughtful anthem for sacred occasions. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic expression, supporting the message of divine care and the quiet contemplation of faith. It is a piece that encourages reflection on providence and the profound beauty found in the natural world.
