I Know My Soul Hath Power (Parry)

Choral

Composer:		Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry
Voicing:		SATB
Words:		Sir. John Davies

I know my soul hath power to know all things,

Yet she is blind and ignorant in all

I know I’m one of Nature’s little kings,

Yet to the least and vilest things am thrall.

I know my life’s a pain and but a span;

I know my sense is mock’d in everything;

And, to conclude, I know myself a Man—

Which is a proud and yet a wretched thing.
