As he which hath called you by George Alexander Macfarren — Lyrics
As he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
About As he which hath called you
George Alexander Macfarren composed this setting of a Bible passage for SATB choir. The text, drawn from 1 Peter, speaks of the importance of holiness in daily life, urging believers to be holy because God is holy. Macfarren’s music would have been intended to be sung during the entrance of a service, providing a solemn and reflective musical moment. This sacred work is a clear example of Victorian-era Anglican choral writing, suitable for church choirs looking for a well-crafted setting of an important scriptural message.
