Product Description
A dramatic a capella setting of Catherine Winkworth's English lyric "Redeemer of the Nations, Come". A cinematic medieval feel is created with drones, modal intervals and optional percussion.
The YouTube version linked is for one voice multitracked + synths/percussion, but similar arrangement to the choral version here.
Redeemer of the nations, come!
Ransom of earth, here make Thy home!
Bright Sun, oh dart Thy flame to earth,
For so shall God in Christ have birth!
Thou comest from Thy kingly throne,
Son of God, the Virgin's Son!
Thou Hero of a twofold race,
Dost walk in might earth's darkest place.
Thou stoopest once to suffer here,
Risest o'er the starry sphere;
Hell's gates at Thy descent were riven,
E'er Thy ascent to highest Heaven.
How bright Thy lowly manger beams!
Down earth's dark vale its glory streams,
The splendour of Thy natal night
Shines through all Time in deathless light.
