Greenfield by Lewis Edson — Lyrics
In finem. filiis Core, pro arcanis. Psalmus.
Deus noster refugium et virtus;
adjutor in tribulationibus quae invenerunt nos nimis.
Propterea non timebimus dum turbabitur terra,
et transferentur montes in cor maris.
Sonuerunt, et et turbatae sunt aquae eorum;
conturbati sunt montes in fortitudine ejus.
Fluminis impetus laetificat civitatem Dei:
sanctificavit tabernaculum suum Altissimus.
Deus in medio ejus, non commovebitur;
adjuvabit eam Deus mane diluculo.
Conturbatae sunt gentes, et inclinata sunt regna:

About Greenfield
This setting by Lewis Edson is for SATB choir, weaving together Latin and English text. The work is sacred in nature, drawing on Psalm 46. The text speaks of God as our refuge and strength, a help in times of trouble. It reassures the singer that even when the earth is shaken and mountains fall into the sea, there is no need to fear. The city of God, where the Most High has made his dwelling, will not be moved. God is in its midst, and will help it. The composer conveys a sense of unwavering faith amidst turmoil, promising divine protection and solace. The piece offers a powerful message of security rooted in faith.
