About Grant, we beseech Thee
Frederick Flaxington Harker composed this sacred anthem for SATB choir. The English text is a prayer for pardon and peace, asking for cleansing from sin and the ability to serve God with a quiet mind. The music reflects the devotional nature of the petition, offering a setting suitable for liturgical occasions. Harker's setting provides a clear and direct musical expression of the plea for divine grace and inner serenity, culminating in a confident affirmation through Jesus Christ.
