Music from Laudes Domini, by Joseph Barnby (1838-1896)
English musical composer and conductor
Story: In New Zealand, a young female vocalist added a high note at the end of a Handel solo. Barnby asked whether she thought she could improve on Handel. She said, "
I’ve got an 'E' and I don’t see why I shouldn’t show it off". Barby said: "
I believe you have two knees, but I hope you won’t show them off here".

A solace here I find,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Or fades my earthly bliss?
My comfort still is this,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
7. Verse 3
The night becomes as day
when from the heart we say:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
the powers of darkness fear
when this glad song they hear:
may Jesus Christ be praised!
