Delley by Jacob French — Lyrics

Down headlong from their native skies The rebel angels fell, And thunderbolts of flaming wrath Pursu'd them deep to hell.

About Delley

Jacob French's Delley paints a dramatic scene of cosmic and human fall, depicting the rebel angels cast down from heaven and rebellious man hurled from earthly bliss. The text then offers a powerful contrast, with Jesus stooping beneath the grave to rescue a sinking world. This SATB setting in English captures the profound theological narrative of sin and salvation. The music likely mirrors the intensity of the fall and the redemptive hope of Christ's sacrifice, offering a compelling expression of sacred text for a choir.
