Lord of Our Life
The German hymn on which Philip Pusey’s text is based was written during the Thirty Years' War. The anthem opens with a turbulent fanfare; the church as ark is surrounded by “hungry billows” and “poisoned arrows”; the fanfare returns as the Lord defends the church; a soaring descant climaxes on “the day when hell itself appalls us,” and leads to a quiet vision of peace.
