TEXT
More love, more love
the heavens are blessing,
the angels are calling,
O Zion, more love.
If ye love not each other
in daily communion,
how can ye love God
whom ye have not seen?
More love, more love.
Alone by its power,
the world we may conquer,
for true love is God.
If ye love one another,
then God dwelleth within you,
and ye are made strong
to live by His Word.
Notes from Taylor Scott Davis:
I have known these words for most of my life - my father, Sid Davis, published an arrangement of the hymn nearly 40 years ago, and I vividly remember hearing it sung for the first time. So when Barnaby asked for a piece that highlighted the debut of Lyyra, I reached for this text. If a mixed SATB ensemble was going to collaborate with an all-treble choir, I wanted to lean into images of angels as I wrote for two choirs, aiming for choir one to sound celestial. It is as though the call from the angels to love unconditionally begins and ends in the heavens.
