Blessed Is The Nation
SATB Choir and Organ or Piano. Not difficult. A perfect Thanksgiving or Harvest anthem, but also great for July 4, Memorial Day and other national days. And really ... how often do you get to sing "pomegranates?"
Psalm 33:12, Deuteronomy 8:7-10
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
The Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land,
A land of brooks of water, of fountains
and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
a land of wheat and barley,
and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates;
a land of oil olive and honey;
a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness,
thou shalt not lack any thing in it;
a land whose stones are iron
and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
When thou hast eaten and art full,
then thou shalt bless the Lord
for the good land which he hath given thee.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
