O Lord, the maker of all thing
Composed by William Mundy

The Vocal Consort Presents: WHA-DA-YA-GET?

O Lord, the maker of all thing by William Mundy is one of his most well known works, dating from its first publishing in The First Book of Selected Church Musick, ed. John Barnard, in 1641. The text is from the King’s Primer, an ecclesiastical document published in 1545 — through which Mundy masterfully weaves a prayerful invocation to God as the creator of everything in existence, as well as our divine protector from sin and deceit.


O Lord, the maker of all thing,
We pray thee now in this evening
Us to defend through thy mercy
From all deceit of our enemy.

Let neither us deluded be,
Good Lord, with dream or fantasy;
Our hearts waking in thee thou keep
That we in sin fall not on sleep.

O Father, through thy blessed Son,
Grant us this our petition,
To whom, with the Holy Ghost always,
In heaven and earth be laud and praise.
