He hath called you out of darkness into his marv'lous light.

About He Hath Called You (#3 from 'Midnight Service')
Dudley Buck's anthem He Hath Called You, from his larger work 'Midnight Service', is a setting of biblical text for SATB choir. This sacred work draws on the New Testament's imagery of light overcoming darkness, a common theme in Christian devotional music. The composer emphasizes the 'tender mercy' of God and the guiding 'way of peace' that comes through divine illumination. Buck's music aims to inspire and uplift, reflecting the comforting message of spiritual guidance and salvation found within the lyrics. The anthem serves as a powerful declaration of faith and hope, drawing listeners into a reflective mood suitable for thoughtful contemplation.
