4th-century hymn writer Ephraim the Syrian uses beautiful imagery to expound theology. In this setting of an English translation of his text, cascading leaps and bright harmonies express the awe and hope of a smoking wick being restored and reignited.
Text from Hymns and Homilies of Ephraim the Syrian, trans. Rev. James Barmby (1898)
The sound of all mouths, is too little for Thy praise: for lo! in the hour when our light was smoking, and was at the point to be quenched... of a sudden it awoke and shone! Who has seen these two marvels, that for him whose hope was cut off, hope has sprung up and increased; the hour of mourning has been turned into good tidings?
