Edinburgh by Samuel Holyoke — Lyrics
1. Ye heavens, with sounds of triumph ring;
Ye angels, burst into a song;
Jesus descends, victorious King,
And leads his shining train along.

About Edinburgh
Samuel Holyoke's Edinburgh is a sacred anthem for STB choir, set to an English text that celebrates the triumphant return of Jesus. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of celestial rejoicing and the resurrection of the faithful, urging creation and humanity to acknowledge Christ as the victorious King. The music would be fitting for Eastertide or any occasion emphasizing Christ's divine power and ultimate victory. This setting is ideal for a choir seeking to present a powerful, celebratory message with a strong textual foundation.
