I will seek unto God, and commit my cause unto Him by Maurice Greene — Lyrics
I will seek unto God, and commit my cause unto him.
For he doth great and wondrous things,
He giveth rain upon the earth,
and sendeth waters upon the fields.
he setteth up the lowly on high,
and exalteth them that mourn.
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness,

About I will seek unto God, and commit my cause unto Him
Maurice Greene's anthem I will seek unto God, and commit my cause unto Him is a fine example of the English verse anthem tradition. Set for SSATB choir, the text is a powerful expression of faith and divine providence. It moves from a personal commitment to God's guidance to a broader contemplation of His power over nature and human affairs. The lyrics speak of God's wondrous deeds, His care for the humble, and His protection of the poor and afflicted. The music would likely reflect these themes, offering moments of both introspection and majestic praise, fitting for a sacred setting.
