About Kings Shall Be Thy Nursing Fathers

When a choir brings out a piece by G.F. Handel, you know a grand celebration is underway. "Kings Shall Be Thy Nursing Fathers" is a magnificent chorus taken from his coronation anthem, *My Heart is Inditing*. The text, drawn from the Book of Isaiah, paints a majestic picture of earthly royalty bowing to serve the faithful—a promise of God's ultimate glory and protection.

In our parishes, this is exactly the kind of robust, triumphant anthem that choirs love to prepare for major feast days, choir anniversaries, or the reception of a bishop. It demands strong, confident voices across all four parts. The sopranos carry that bright, soaring repetition of the title phrase, building a sense of royal procession and divine triumph that echoes beautifully through the church loft.

Singing this piece is a workout for any choir, with its continuous, weaving lines and majestic pacing. But when the voices lock together on those final, broad chords, it leaves the congregation in absolute awe. It is a brilliant choice for a festive concert or a grand recessional, bringing a true sense of classical majesty to the celebration.
