Enforce Yourself as God's Own Knight by Edmund Turges — Lyrics
1. Enforce yourself as God’s own knight,
to strengthen your commons in their right.
Sov'reign Lord in earth most excellent,
whom God hath chos'n our guide to be,
with gifts so great and evident
of martial power and also high dignity.
Since it is so, now let your labour be,
enforcing yourself with all your might,
to strengthen your commons in their right.
Enforce your self as Goddess knight,

About Enforce Yourself as God's Own Knight
This English sacred anthem by Edmund Turges is ideal for a choir seeking a strong, martial text to set before their congregation. Set for SAB voices, the music accompanies words that exhort a leader, depicted as God's own knight, to uphold justice and protect the common people. The lyrics speak of the divine gifts of wisdom, strength, and sovereignty bestowed upon this leader, urging them to redress wrongs and respond to the people's cries. It is a powerful call to action, suitable for occasions when strength, righteousness, and leadership are thematic concerns.
