Danville by Jeremiah Ingalls — Lyrics
Alleluia. Reversionis Aggei et Zacchariae. Beatus vir qui timet Dominum: in mandatis ejus volet nimis.
Potens in terra erit semen ejus; generatio rectorum benedicetur.
Gloria et divitiae in domo ejus: et justitia ejus manet in saeculum saeculi.
Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis: misericors, et miserator, et justus.
Jucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat; disponet sermones suos in judicio:
quia in aeternum non commovebitur.
In memoria aeterna erit justus;

About Danville
Jeremiah Ingalls’ Danville opens with a bright, energetic setting of the word Alleluia. The composer then moves to a text in English, taken from Psalm 112, which speaks of the blessings and rewards for the righteous man who fears the Lord and keeps his commandments. The STB voicing allows for a rich yet clear texture, with the voices often moving in close harmony. The music reflects the positive and hopeful nature of the text, building towards a sense of assurance and divine favour. This is a stirring hymn suitable for services celebrating faith and righteousness.
