Hail, bright Cecilia -- Come, ye sons of art, away -- Welcome, viceregent of the mighty king -- O dive custos Auriacae domus -- Raise, raise the voice -- Incassum, Lesbia, rogas (The Queen's epicedium) -- Young Thyrsis' fate, ye hills and groves, deplore -- Why, why are all the Muses mute? -- Rejoice in the Lord alway -- Blow up the trumpet in Sion -- O God, thou art my God -- My heart is inditing -- Remember not, Lord, our offences -- I was glad when they said unto me -- O Lord, rebuke me not -- Praise the Lord, o my soul, and all that is within me -- Now that the sun hath veiled his light (An evening hymn on a ground) -- Jehova, quam multi sunt hostes mei! -- My beloved spake -- O God, thou has cast us out and scatter'd us abroad -- Hear my prayer, o Lord, and let my crying come to thee -- Music for the funeral of Queen Mary -- In guilty night -- Close thine eyes and sleep secure.
