That voice! Moves me to tears. His musicianship coupled with that voice!

Bingo.

[@thomaswehner229]

Now, now that the sun hath veil’d his light
And bid the world goodnight;
To the soft bed my body I dispose,
But where shall my soul repose?
Dear, dear God, even in Thy arms,
And can there be any so sweet security!
Then to thy rest, O my soul!
And singing, praise the mercy
That prolongs thy days.
Alleluia!

[@SpencerMusicSchool]

This counter tenor is absolutely sublime. Stunning performance.

oh great, thanks a lot for making me burst into tears...
Wait - sounds more like Purcell than Nyman, but what do I know?

[@eshaneogy]

You know a lot!

[@thomasromano9321]

It is Purcell. It's called "Now That the Sun Hath Veiled His Light."

[@eulero75]

It is Purcell; the title is "an evening hymn"
