You God are My God

A beautiful setting of words from Psalm 63, a Psalm of David, for SATB choir, trumpet and organ.

You, God, are my God, eagerly I seek you
I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land where there is no water.

I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.

I will praise you as long as I shall live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.
Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
I cling to you; your right hand holds me fast.

A separate trumpet part is available as well as the score.
