This haunting song of faith is an impressionistic prayer of great beauty. A touching lyricism with a folk-like quality characterizes the musical setting, and the highly poetic text tenderly tugs at the heart with beautiful imagery. Opening with a tenor solo or ensemble, Blow the Winds Gently is a wonderful anthem for general use or even for Pentecost. One can hardly sing or hear this piece without being touched by its gentleness, warmth, and passion.
