Composed by David Warin Solomons. 20th Century,Christian,Contemporary. Full Performance. Duration 332. David Warin Solomons #552543. Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.1059309).

My setting of the poem by Robert Herrick, performed by Matthew Curtis (multitracking).
(A live choral version sung more recently by the Johanneberg Vokalensemble is now also available).

Litany to the Holy Spirit is a setting of the whole of Robert Herrick's poem by that name
(as opposed to other well-known settings which only use a few verses).
The whole poem deserves to be set in its entirety since the full story can be told and Herrick's feelings come out all the more.

In the hour of my distress,
When temptations me oppress,
And when I my sins confess,
Sweet Spirit, comfort me!

When I lie within my bed,
Sick in heart and sick in head,
And with doubts discomforted,
Sweet Spirit, comfort me!

When the house doth sigh and weep,
And the world is drown'd in sleep,
Yet mine eyes the watch do keep,
Sweet Spirit, comfort me!

When the passing bell doth toll,
And the Furies in a shoal
Come to fright a parting soul,
Sweet Spirit, comfort me!

When the tapers now burn blue,
And the comforters are few,
And that number more than true,
Sweet Spirit, comfort me!

When the priest his last hath pray'd,
And I nod to what is said,
'Cause my speech is now decay'd,
Sweet Spirit, comfort me!

When, God knows, I'm toss'd about
Either with despair or doubt;
Yet before the glass be out,
Sweet Spirit, comfort me!

When the tempter me pursu'th
With the sins of all my youth,
And half damns me with untruth,
Sweet Spirit, comfort me!

When the flames and hellish cries
Fright mine ears and fright mine eyes,
And all terrors me surprise,
Sweet Spirit, comfort me!

When the Judgment is reveal'd,
And that open'd which was seal'd,
When to Thee I have appeal'd,
Sweet Spirit, comfort me!
