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!
That voice! Moves me to tears. His musicianship coupled with that voice!
Bingo.
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!
This counter tenor is absolutely sublime. Stunning performance.

I love you Iestyn Davies

oh great, thanks a lot for making me burst into tears...
Wait - sounds more like Purcell than Nyman, but what do I know?
You know a lot!
It is Purcell. It's called "Now That the Sun Hath Veiled His Light."
It is Purcell; the title is "an evening hymn"
just exceptional singing! but the band's expressions are so dour
