Behold Now, Praise the Lord by Denis Mason — Lyrics
Behold now praise the Lord
all you servants of the Lord
who stand in the house of the Lord
and in the courts of our God.
Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord.
For the word of the Lord is true
and all his works are to be trusted.
All your creatures thank you, oh Lord,
and your Saints repeat their blessing.
Alle the earth shall worship you
and sing to you and sing praise to your name.
We are the sheep of his pasture,
our flock is led by his hand;

About Behold Now, Praise the Lord
Denis Mason's anthem Behold Now, Praise the Lord is a majestic setting of scripture for SATB choir. The music opens with a powerful invocation, setting a tone of awe and reverence. The vocal parts are woven together, creating a rich and resonant texture that builds towards moments of grand affirmation. The text, drawn from the Psalms, speaks of God's greatness, his loving care for his people, and calls for universal praise. The composer captures the exultant and devotional spirit of the words, making this a stirring anthem for congregational singing and a rewarding piece for choirs to explore. Its noble message and compelling musicality make it suitable for a variety of sacred occasions.
