Note 55 — Chapter V
Reading edition
The words of the Quartet, as sung at Birmingham, were:—
"Regard Thy servant's prayer, While angels bow before Thee, And worlds around Thy throne In strains of praise adore Thee. O, help him in his need, Thy gracious ear accord— Jehovah Sabaoth, Creator, God, and Lord!"
They were changed to the now familiar "Cast thy burden." The music was also altered, but its quartet-chorale form and slender accompaniment were retained.
