An exquisite, flowing accompaniment for unison, women or optional children's choir on the first verse sets up the lyrical, gentle nature of this hymn. Unison men sing the second verse, with four-part harmony on verse three, moving the melody throughout the various parts. (Other options for this verse are included.) Strong choral writing offers a majestic final verse bringing the arrangement full circle and allowing the classical feel of the accompaniment to close out this lovely hymn setting.
