'O God, the king of glory'

Before the end of Ascensiontide, there's just time to enjoy this, one of my favourite anthems - Henry Purcell's 'O God, the king of glory' (at 1:10 into the video):



O God, the King of Glory, who hast exalted thine only Son, Jesus Christ, with great triumph into heaven: we beseech thee, leave us not comfortless, but send to us thine Holy Ghost to comfort us, and exalt us into the same place where our Saviour Christ is gone before us.

    Hello Clerk of Oxford,

    I was wondering if you might help me find some poetry. I'm a composer in the U.S. looking for a Nativity-themed Old English poem to set to music. I can tell you more about the project via email (bahrline@yahoo.com). You may check out my website at www.jasonbahr.com.

    Thanks,

    Jason
