A totally new take on a classic hymn text! This buoyant theme in minor rises and falls in waves of melodic charm while the timeless message of God's provision and providence lifts the spirit of the faithful. There is a gradual intensification in the musical dynamics matching the spirit of the words that offers directors an opportunity to explore pacing and other interpretive elements. The final stanza brings the church together in one affirmation of faith. Brilliant!
