Botley, 2022 London composium
Description
Thank you to the London singers for trying this out at the composium before their 2022 all-day, and thanks to Connie for making a recording.
Text
Eternal excellence!
Thy worms would fain declare,
In thy divinest sense
How thou art heav'nly fair.
O Prince, Messiah, thou art seen
The fairest of the sons of men.
Man in his first estate,
Most wonderfully form'd,
With beauty's pow'rs replete,
With holiness adorn'd.
From ev'ry spot and blemish free,
Was but a figure, Lord, of thee.
