This well-known text is set to an original melody which has the lilting simplicity of a folk song. The first stanza is a solo (or in unison). The second stanza has the melody in the tenor with the choir accompanying on a neutral syllable. The third and fourth stanzas have SATB settings which differ slightly. The accompaniment provides attractive support and short flowing interludes between stanzas. Easy and lyrical.
Voicing & Instruments: SATB and Keyboard
Composer/Arranger: Angel, Timothy
