Description
Written in memory of the Reverend Peter J. Gomes (longtime minister at Harvard University), this is a rich and glorious anthem in the spirit of Phillips’s popular “The Risen Sun.” Words from the book of Romans serve as the text, which speaks of “being not conformed to the world.” The integral organ part supports the choir throughout and provides many opportunities for the use of solo stops.

Anthem text
I beseech you therefore, brethren,
by the mercies of God,
that you present your bodies
a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed
by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good
and acceptable, and perfect will of God.
--Romans 12:1-2 |
