The first new collection from John L. Bell featuring the Cathedral Singers and the Iona Community since 2001. Beautifully recorded by the Cathedral Singers under the direction of Bill Chin, this new collection features a perfect mix of new world music and choral favorites. The Splendour of the House of God is a collection of texts that “speak of God to God’s people or for God’s people to God.” These songs for worship have existed in the Iona repertoire for some time and have proven their worth. Today, the Iona Community shares these brilliant texts with the world. All of the texts in this collection speak, in one way or another, to what is involved in public worship—from physical buildings to living our faith in the world. The Splendour of the House of God was premiered at the 2011 NPM National Convention in Louisville, Kentucky.

This text by Lisa M. Clark is set to a memorable tune and two-part mixed setting by Jonathan Kohrs. The text highlights the story of salvation, while carrying themes of outreach, the new creation, and the end times. The choral texture builds from start to finish and blossoms with a descant in the final stanza.

In paradise, You shared Your best
With us, Your children dear.
Your bounty, presence, work, and rest:
Secure from guilt or fear.
But we brought shame upon the land
And disobeyed Your clear command.
Oh, we will never understand
The darkness we brought near.

In exile, driven from Your face,
We hid and worked in vain.
We lost the children's honored place
And earned Your just disdain.
But Jesus came to take our blame
And took away our horrid shame
And gave to us His holy name,
That we may life regain.

In restoration, we are free
And welcomed home anew.
You smile on us abundantly
And bless us through and through.
But as we wait for that great day,
When all dishonor melts away,
Let us, Your own beloved, say:
'Our Lord, we honor You!'

Use this piece at times when hope and comfort are needed, including at funerals and on Good Friday.
