Dartmouth by Daniel Belknap — Lyrics
1. Blest are the humble souls that see
Their emptiness and poverty;
Treasures of grace to them are giv'n,
And crowns of joy laid up in heav'n.

About Dartmouth
Dartmouth is a sacred set piece for STB voices, sung in English. Its text draws on the Beatitudes, presenting a devotional reflection on humility and repentance. The first stanza speaks of the blessings bestowed upon those who recognize their spiritual need, finding divine treasures and heavenly rewards. The second stanza turns to the theme of a contrite heart, emphasizing the healing power of Christ's blood for those who mourn their sins. Daniel Belknap’s setting would suit a choir looking for a thoughtful anthem suitable for reflective moments in a service, offering a message of spiritual comfort and divine grace.
