Representative Text

1 La ley de Dios perfecta es:
Convierte al pecador;
Su testimonio es tan fiel
Que al simple iluminó.

2 Los mandamientos del Señor
Dan gozo al corazón;
Tan puro su precepto es
Que aclara la visión.

3 Es limpio el temor de Dios,
Que permanecerá;
Los sabios juicios del Señor,
Son justos, son verdad.

5 Deseables más que el oro son,
Sus juicios, mucho más;
Aun más dulces que la miel
Que fluye del panal.

ST. ANDREW (Tans'ur)


LAMBETH (Schulthes)

Credited to Wilhelm Schulthes, 1871, in The Hymnal (1916). Reviews of his works in The Musical Times in 1871 include an "Ave Maria" for organ/piano and "O Salutaris" for soprano and choir. These pieces appear to be exceptionally rare and are not readily available for study. —Chris Fenner
