From the LP “In Quires and Places”, series 2 no. 9, featuring the choir of St George’s Cathedral Cape Town, directed by Barry Smith, with John Allison (organ). Published in 1919, the title of Charles Wood’s atmospheric anthem alludes to Psalm 40 but the text is actually the last two stanzas of “Expectans expectavi”, by Charles Hamilton Sorley: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles....
This sanctuary of my soul,
Unwitting I keep white and whole,
Unlatch’d and lit, if Thou should’st care
To enter or to tarry there.
With parted lips and outstretch’d hands,
And list’ning ears Thy servant stands.
Call Thou early, call Thou late,
to Thy great service dedicate.
My soul keep white, and whole.
