Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God by Charles Harford Lloyd — Lyrics

About Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God
Charles Harford Lloyd’s sacred anthem Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God sets a passage of scripture urging kindness, tenderheartedness, and forgiveness. The composer sets this text for two sopranos and two tenors, a voicing that allows for intimate moments and powerful contrasts. The words, drawn from the Epistles, encourage a community to lay aside anger and bitterness, fostering instead a spirit of mutual forbearance and love, inspired by divine example. The composer’s setting reflects the earnest plea of the text, offering a compelling message of reconciliation and compassion suitable for contemplative reflection or a moment of spiritual uplift.
