“… an atmospheric setting of Lancelot Andrewes’ prayer from his Preces Privatae (1555-1626),… a contemplative piece, written in six vocal parts and inspired by Josef Rheinberger’s Abendlied.”
- Lord, The day is gone, and I give Thee thanks, O Lord.
Evening is at hand, make it bright unto us.
As day has its evening, so also has life; make it bright unto us.
Cast me not away in the time of age;
Forsake me not when my strength faileth me.
Abide with me, Lord, for it is toward evening,
And the day is far spent of this fretful life.
Let Thy strength be made perfect in my weakness.
