I am well pleased by Henry Aldrich — Lyrics
I am well pleased that the Lord hath heard the voice of my pray'r, that he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him, as long as I live.
The snares of death compassed me round about and the pains of hell gat hold upon me.
I have found trouble and heaviness and I did call upon the name of the Lord, O Lord I beseech Thee deliver my soul.

About I am well pleased
Henry Aldrich's anthem I am well pleased is a suitable choice for services of thanksgiving or general anthems. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic textures to support the scriptural text. The music sets words of deliverance and praise, reflecting on God's mercy and graciousness in times of trouble. The text, drawn from the Psalms, expresses a journey from distress to confident reliance on the Lord, culminating in a declaration of His preservation and deliverance of the faithful. This setting would serve well in a traditional sacred context.
