About God be in my head
This devotional anthem by Henry Walford Davies sets a text that has been a prayer for centuries. The prayer begins in medieval French, asking that Jesus be in one's head and understanding, in one's eyes and sight, in one's mouth and speech, in one's heart and thought, and finally in one's life and passing. The composer then shifts to English for the latter part of the prayer, continuing its intimate and personal plea for divine presence. Composed for SATB voices, God be in my head is a profound and simple expression of faith, suitable for services of communion, preparation, or quiet reflection, offering a moment of deep spiritual connection for both singers and listeners.
