The text
is by the English poet,
Joseph Addison
(1672-1719), and was
originally titled, Hymn.
The father of English
hymnody, Issac Watts,
thought highly of
Addison, calling him the
most authentic judge of
fine thought and language
that our age has
produced. This Addison
hymn first appeared in
print in the August 23,
1712, issue of The
Spectator, at the end of
an article by Addison
entitled, An Essay on the
Proper Means of
Strengthening and
Confirming Faith in the
Mind of Man. It is based
on Psalm 19, vs.
1–6. My setting of
Addison’s words is
full of dialogue
throughout between the
divided choirs. A
relatively short middle
section at the words,
What though in solemn
silence all, briefly
stills the vibrant pace.
However, the rhythmic
energy soon returns,
propelling the anthem
toward its climax at the
hymn’s final line,
The Hand that made us is
divine.SATB Double
