I will sing of thy power, O God by Maurice Greene — Lyrics

in the day of my trouble.
Unto thee, O my Strength, will I sing,

About I will sing of thy power, O God
The words of this anthem express profound gratitude and reliance on God's power and mercy, particularly in times of trouble. The text, drawn from scripture, speaks of God as a refuge and strength, and anticipates victory over enemies. Maurice Greene sets this text for SATB choir, a standard voicing for English verse anthems of the period. The music would have been intended to offer both devotional reflection and a declaration of divine protection and might, suitable for a church setting where such sentiments were paramount.
