Complete in Thee
This fifth and final choral piece was actually the first that I arranged for Majesty this time around. The old hymn text has been set to a relatively popular new tune by Ben Nyce. This setting takes a rather restrained yet harmonically colorful approach to the text:
Complete in Thee! No work of mine
May take, dear Lord, the place of Thine;
Thy blood hath pardon bought for me,
And I am now complete in Thee.
Complete in Thee—each want supplied,
And no good thing to me denied;
Since Thou my portion, Lord, wilt be,
I ask no more, complete in Thee.
