Galatia by Hezekiah Moors — Lyrics
1. Death may dissolve my body now,
And bear my spirit home;
Why do my minutes move so slow,
Nor my salvation come?

About Galatia
This sacred anthem for SATB choir in English was written by Hezekiah Moors. The text expresses a profound longing for the culmination of faith, with the singer ready to depart this life and join their Lord. The opening lines describe the weariness of waiting for salvation, contrasting with the conviction of having fought the good fight and kept the faith. The composer's setting would typically enhance this devotional sentiment, offering a rich harmonic language suitable for a church choir. Its devotional nature makes it ideal for services focused on themes of perseverance, faith, and the afterlife.
