Bring Us, O Lord God - J. Aaron McDermid

Bring Us, O Lord God by J. Aaron McDermid
Mvt. 2 from Visions of Heaven
SATB Double Choir a cappella

text:
Bring us, o Lord God,
at the last awakening
into the house and gate of Heaven,
to enter into that gate
and dwell in that house,

where there shall be
no darkness nor dazzling,
but one equal light;
no noise nor silence,
but one equal music;
no fears or hopes,
but one equal possession;

no ends or beginnings,
but one equal eternity,
in the habitation of
thy majesty and thy glory,
world without end.
- John Donne (1571–1631)

Dazzlingly original, surely McDermid will go down as one of the great 21st century choral composers.

These new American sacred Choral music is so interesting and beautiful!
