About Hide Me Under the Shadow of Thy Wings
John Ebenezer West composed this anthem for SATB choir. It sets a prayerful English text drawn from the Psalms, expressing a deep yearning for divine protection and peace. The lyrics speak of finding refuge under God's shadow, entrusting oneself to angels, and the assurance of safety that only the Lord can provide. This sacred work, suitable for liturgical settings or concerts, offers a moment of profound reflection and solace. Its heartfelt plea and comforting message make it a compelling choice for choirs seeking to convey spiritual depth and devotion through music.
