Representative Text

1 The trespass of the wicked man
Most plainly testifies
That fear of God's most holy Name
Is not before his eyes.

2 He cherishes the empty hope,
Although his sin be great,
It never shall be brought to light
And viewed with righteous hate.

3 The words he utters with his mouth
Are wickedness and lies;
He keeps himself from doing good,
And ceases to be wise.

4 While on his bed his thought he gives
To planning wickedness;
He sets himself in evil ways,
he shuns not to transgress.

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
