Idumea by Ananias Davisson — Lyrics
Hymn 569 (1762)
Come then, and dwell in me,
Spirit of power within,
And bring the glorious liberty
From sorrow, fear, and sin:
The seed of sin’s disease,
Spirit of health, remove,
Spirit of finish’d holiness,
Spirit of perfect love.
Hymn 578 (1762)
Hasten the joyful day
Which shall my sins consume,
When old things shall be past away,

About Idumea
Ananias Davisson's Idumea is a powerful SATB setting of English sacred texts. It offers a profound devotional experience, suitable for services seeking to explore themes of spiritual transformation and divine presence. The music accompanies prayers for the Holy Spirit to bring inner liberty, remove the 'seed of sin’s disease,' and create a state of 'finish’d holiness.' It also includes petitions for the hastening of a 'joyful day' when sins are consumed and all things become new, culminating in a desire for the 'witness' of righteous living and a plea for translation to eternal presence. This composition is ideal for choirs looking to present musically engaging and theologically rich repertoire.
