In the last three years of his very active life, Parry wrote six unaccompanied motets, which were collected together under the title Songs of Farewell. These piece are all of a deeply philosophical nature, dwelling on the transitory nature of human existence and the hope of a continuing life in another world. The first four were completed in 1916, the fifth a year later, and the last in 1918. I know my soul hath power to know all things (a text by Sir John Davies) is for four-part choir and the second of the Songs of Farewell.
