Constant Peace by Oliver Holden — Lyrics
Psalmus David,in consummatione tabernaculi. Afferte Domino, filii Dei, afferte Domino filios arietum.
Afferte Domino gloriam et honorem; afferte Domino gloriam nomini ejus; adorate Dominum in atrio sancto ejus.
Vox Domini super aquas; Deus majestatis intonuit: Dominus super aquas multas.
Vox Domini in virtute; vox Domini in magnificentia.
Vox Domini confringentis cedros, et confringet Dominus cedros Libani:
et comminuet eas, tamquam vitulum Libani, et dilectus quemadmodum filius unicornium.

About Constant Peace
Oliver Holden's Constant Peace is a sacred hymn for STB voices, setting a text that draws from Psalm 29. The original Latin psalm, which speaks of God's power over the waters and the natural world, is here paired with English translations. This allows for a dual focus, perhaps on the grandeur of creation and its Creator, or on the spiritual solace found in divine majesty. The hymn's structure and dual language suggest a thoughtful consideration for diverse liturgical settings or concert programming, offering moments of both majestic declaration and reflective peace.
