Hampton by Daniel Belknap — Lyrics
Dearest of all the names above,
My Jesus, and my God,
Who can resist thy heavenly love,
Or trifle with thy blood?
Tis by the merits of thy death
The Father smiles again;
'Tis by thine interceding breath
The Spirit dwells with men.
Till God in human flesh I see,
My thoughts no comfort find;

About Hampton
Daniel Belknap was an American composer of sacred music active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This SATB setting of Hampton is a powerful expression of personal faith. The English text focuses on the redemptive power of Christ's sacrifice and the assurance of salvation through faith in His incarnation. The composer reflects the deep devotion of the text, moving from the fearsome nature of the divine to the profound comfort found in the presence of Jesus. The music aims to convey the profound theological truths of the lyrics, offering a moving reflection on Christian hope and trust, suitable for congregational or concert use.
