I'm 1 of the Tenors in this recording. This was back many years ago. Recorded 2007 or 2006 if I'm not mistaken. Northern Kentucky University Chamber Choir. We were the 1st to perform and record many of Richard's early works.
Bright builder of the heavenly poles, Eternal light of faithful souls, Jesus, Redeemer of mankind, Our humble prayers vouchsafe to mind. Who, lest the fraud of hell’s black king Should all men to destruction bring, Didst, by an act of generous love, The fainting world’s physician prove. Who, that thou mightst our ransom pay And wash the stains of sin away, Wouldst from a Virgin’s womb proceed And on the cross a victim bleed. Whose glorious power, whose saving name No sooner any voice can frame, But heaven and earth and hell agree To honour them with trembling knee. Thee, Christ, who at the latter day Shalt be our Judge, we humbly pray Such arms of heavenly grace to send As may thy Church from foes defend. Be glory given and honour done To God the Father and the Son And to the Holy Ghost on high, From age to age eternally. Ame

Bright builder of the heavenly poles,
Eternal light of faithful souls,
Jesus, Redeemer of mankind,
Our humble prayers vouchsafe to mind.
Who, lest the fraud of hell’s black king
Should all men to destruction bring,
Didst, by an act of generous love,
The fainting world’s physician prove.
Who, that thou mightst our ransom pay
And wash the stains of sin away,
Wouldst from a Virgin’s womb proceed
And on the cross a victim bleed.
Whose glorious power, whose saving name
No sooner any voice can frame,
But heaven and earth and hell agree
To honour them with trembling knee.
Thee, Christ, who at the latter day
Shalt be our Judge, we humbly pray
Such arms of heavenly grace to send
As may thy Church from foes defend.
Be glory given and honour done
To God the Father and the Son
And to the Holy Ghost on high,
From age to age eternally.
