Deliver us, O Lord our God by Adrian Batten — Lyrics
Deliver us, O Lord our God,
and gather us from among the heathen

and make our boast of thy praise.

About Deliver us, O Lord our God
This setting of a deeply devotional English text offers a powerful plea for divine deliverance and unity. The words express a yearning to be gathered from dispersion, to give thanks, and to boast in the Lord's holy name. Adrian Batten’s anthems are often characterized by their directness and sincerity, and this work is no exception. Scored for SATB choir, it provides ample opportunity for rich harmonic colour and dramatic declamation, particularly in the grand pronouncements of praise and the final, resounding 'Amen'. It is a fitting choice for services seeking a profound expression of faith and community, reflecting on God's eternal presence and power.
