Kellyvale by Hezekiah Moors — Lyrics
Thus far the Lord has led me on,
Thus far his power prolongs my days;
And every evening shall make known
Some fresh memorial of his grace.
Much of my time has run to waste,
And I perhaps am near my home;
But he forgives my follies past,
He gives me strength for days to come.
I lay my body down to sleep,
Peace is the pillow for my head;
While wellappointed angels keep
Their watchful stations round my bed.

About Kellyvale
Hezekiah Moors' Kellyvale is a sacred anthem for SATB choir, sung in English. The text is a hymn of profound gratitude and trust, reflecting on God's guidance through life's journey and expressing confidence in divine protection through the night and into the coming day. The lyrics speak of past mercies, forgiveness for errors, and the promise of strength for the future, culminating in a peaceful surrender to sleep under heavenly watch. The composer's setting likely aims to convey the earnest faith and quiet assurance found within the hymn's verses, offering a moment of spiritual reflection and reassurance for the choir and congregation.
