Description: This piece has an interesting history. It was released as a composition by the minor Tudor composer John Caustun to be sung in the English Service, but the music is actually by Taverner: his instrumental composition "In Nomine", which itself is a version of a section of his "Gloria Tibi Trinitas"!

English text
In trouble and adversity, the Lord will hear thee still,
The majesty of Jacob's God will thee defend from ill,
And send thee from his holy place his help at ev'ry need,
And so in Sion stablish thee, and make thee strong indeed.
