Description
This is an instrumental transcription of Parry's 5 voice anthem from his "Songs of Farewell".
The pdf file contains score and parts.
The mp3 is an electronic preview

The words of the original anthem are by Thomas Campion (who also made a musical setting of the words several centuries earlier)
Never weather-beaten sail more willing bent to shore,
Never tired pilgrim’s limbs affected slumber more,
Than my weary sprite now longs to fly out of my troubled breast:
O come quickly, sweetest Lord, and take my soul to rest.

Ever-living are the joys of Heaven’s high Paradise,
Cold age deafs not there our ears nor vapour dims our eyes:
Glory there the sun outshines, whose beams the blessed only see:
O come quickly, sweetest Lord, and raise my sprite to Thee!
