God hath appointed a day by Berthold Tours — Lyrics
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man

About God hath appointed a day
Berthold Tours's anthem God hath appointed a day opens with a sense of solemnity, reflecting the gravitas of its biblical text. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonies and powerful declamation, particularly as the music builds to affirm the assurance of resurrection and judgment. The text, drawn from Acts and the Psalms, speaks of divine justice, mercy, and the ultimate victory through Christ. The composer crafts music that underscores these themes, moving from reflective passages to moments of exultation. This is a substantial sacred work suitable for a mature choir looking to present a compelling and textually rich anthem.
