Give to our God immortal praise by Ralph Harrison — Lyrics
About Give to our God immortal praise
This rousing anthem is a powerful setting of Psalm 136 (135), a text often sung at Thanksgiving. The SATB choir alternates between the Latin original and an English translation, creating a rich, celebratory sound. Ralph Harrison’s music builds dynamically, reflecting the jubilant praise and confident exultation found in the words. The text recounts God’s mighty acts, from the creation of the heavens and earth to the liberation of Israel from Egypt, all underpinned by the refrain 'His mercy endureth for ever'. It is a declaration of unwavering faith and gratitude, well-suited for occasions demanding a grand and uplifting choral statement.
