The warmth of expression at the words 'Thy mercy, O Lord, held me up' achieves a consummate beauty so characteristic of Bairstow at his most deeply felt. A richly-scored bass solo is a notable characteristic of the work, and the grandeur of the choral writing gives more than a hint of the terrific Easter-tide Anthem 'Sing ye to the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously' that was the next year to follow from the composer's pen.
This performance was recorded in Leeds Minster on Sunday 28th April 2013 during the recital of 'Music with Minster connections' sung by St Peter's Singers of Leeds, directed by Dr Simon Lindley. The organist is David Houlder and the bass soloist is Quentin Brown.

A version for SATB is also available at the link below
The cartoon animation was created, from a "choirboy" caricature of the composer by "Dale", by David Marsh (Paramolehill)
The words (taking the last verse) are
...on the twelfth day of Christmas the choir processed in song
and twelve candles dripped
eleven altos flipped
and ten lines were clipped
and nine gins were sipped
and eight crept to the crypt
and seven hymn books slipped
and six basses quipped
and five sang in tune!
and four cassocks ripped
and three lost their script
and two tenors tripped
and the soloist got it all wrong. less
