A perfect canon at the octave between the voice and the accompaniment. The yearning middle section is in the minor key; the confident acknowledgments of the beginning and ending are in the major key of the home tonality. Exquisite text fits classic harmonies. Organ and voice.
Lyrics
Nun (Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet)
Text: Psalm 119:105-106; 110-112 (KJV)
Music: Adrienne Tindall
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet,
And a light unto my path.
I have sworn, and I will perfrom it,
That I will keep thy righteous judgments.
Accept, I beseech Thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord, O Lord,
And teach me Thy judgments!
The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from Thy precepts!
Thy testimonies have I taken for an heritage forever!
I have inclined my heart to perform Thy statutes alway,
Even unto the end;
Even unto the end.
