I will praise thee, O Lord by Hezekiah Moors — Lyrics
I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart,
I will show forth all thy wondrous works.
I will be glad and rejoice in thee, my God.
I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most high,
Psalm 9:12
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause.
Psalm 9:4a
Thou art become my strength and song, even my salvation.
Isaiah 12:2
I will sing a new song unto thee, O God.
Upon a psaltery, and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
Psalm 144:9
I will bless thee, my God;
Thy praise shall ever be in my mouth, and in thee shall my soul make her boast.
Psalm 34:12a

About I will praise thee, O Lord
This anthemic setting of scripture is suitable for a general sacred occasion. The text, drawn from Psalms and Isaiah, expresses profound gratitude and exultation, proclaiming God's strength, salvation, and the desire to praise Him with all one's being. The composer Hezekiah Moors crafts a piece for treble, bass, and tenor voices, providing a rich and resonant texture for these celebratory words. The SA TB voicing offers opportunities for both homophonic declaration and contrapuntal interplay as the choir declares "I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart" and "Thou art become my strength and song, even my salvation."
