Haste Thee, O God by Adrian Batten — Lyrics
Haste Thee, O God to deliver me, make haste to help me.
Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul.
Let them for their reward be soon brought to shame, that cry over me: "There, there, there."

About Haste Thee, O God
Adrian Batten's SATB anthem, Haste Thee, O God, is a powerful setting of a biblical text often associated with times of trouble and a plea for divine intervention. The composer vividly captures the contrasting emotions of the psalm, moving from the urgent entreaty for deliverance and the condemnation of adversaries to the ultimate celebration of those who seek God. The music would suit a moment of reflection or supplication within a service, offering a profound musical expression of faith and hope. Batten's command of choral writing ensures that the dramatic text is conveyed with both clarity and emotional depth, making it a compelling choice for a choir seeking impactful sacred repertoire.
