This setting was composed especially for use at the Church of S. John Baptist, Kensington. It is suggested that the portions marked "Choir I." should be sung by a hidden Quartet, and the portions marked "Choir II." by the Full Choir in the Chancel. If this arrangement of voices should be found impossible or undesireable, the setting may be sung antiphonally—Decani taking "Choir I." and Cantoris "Choir II."—H. W.

Choir I.
O My people, what have I done to Thee? or wherein have I wearied thee? Answer Me.
Because I brought thee out of the land of Egypt, thou has prepared a Cross for thy Saviour.

Choir II.

Holy God, Holy and Mighty, Holy and Immortal, have mercy upon us.
