Blessed be the Lord God of Israel by Edward Vine Hall — Lyrics
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; He hath visited and redeemed his people.
And hath raised up a mighty salvation in the house of His servant David.
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King.
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled.
Hail, the heavenborn Prince of Peace!

About Blessed be the Lord God of Israel
This stirring anthem by Edward Vine Hall is ideal for Advent and Christmas services, proclaiming the birth of the Saviour. Its text draws from the Magnificat and Isaiah, celebrating the redemptive power of God and announcing the arrival of the Prince of Peace. The well-known hymn Hark! the herald angels sing is also woven into the fabric of this piece, offering a familiar and uplifting message. Scored for SATB choir, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel is a powerful declaration of faith, perfect for choirs looking to enhance their seasonal repertoire with a piece that speaks of hope and divine reconciliation.
