Description: Arrangement of Cherubic Hymn by Dmitri Bortniansky. This is largely an SATB anthem, with an SSA interlude from bars 43-49, and basses in octaves from bar 59 to the end. Since the keyboard part is merely a reduction of the voice parts, it could be sung a cappella, although it is likely that Sullivan intended an organ accompaniment.

Mercy and truth are met together: righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Truth shall flourish out of the earth:
Righteousness shall go before Him: and He shall direct his going in the way.
Alleluia!
Amen
