As Sin Is Nothing, Let It Nowhere Be [HL:1106076]

“For SATB and organ, commissioned by The Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn. This four-and-a-half-minute anthem sets text by John Donne.XXVIII.

Son of God, hear us, and since Thou

By taking our blood, owest it us again,

Gain to Thyself, or us allow;

And let not both us and Thyself be slain;

O Lamb of God, which took'st our sin,

Which could not stick to Thee,

O let it not return to us again;

But patient and physician being free,

As sin is nothing, let it nowhere be.

-John Donne (1572-1631)

from The Poems of John Donne: 'A Litany'”
