I know no life divided by Hart Pease Danks — Lyrics
1 I know no life divided,
O Lord of life, from thee;
In thee is life provided
For all mankind and me;
I know no death, O Jesus,
Because I live in thee;
Thy death it is that frees us
From death eternally.
2 I fear no tribulation,
Since, whatsoe'er it be,
It makes no separation
Between my Lord and me.

About I know no life divided
This arrangement for SATB voices of the hymn I know no life divided by Hart Pease Danks opens with a gentle, hymn-like texture. The voices move together in mostly homophonic style, creating a warm and resonant sound. The English text speaks of the assurance of eternal life and freedom from fear and tribulation through faith in Christ. The composer masterfully captures the devotional spirit of the words, offering a profound and comforting message. The setting builds expressively, particularly in the final stanza, where the plea for God's love to guide and impress the heart is set with heartfelt sincerity. This piece would serve as an uplifting anthem for services focusing on faith and salvation.
